This block time is not constant. It is long and short depending the mining situation. It resets because long period of long mining block time longer than targeted 1 minute per block after big ASIC miners left.
Overall the mining block time is close to 1 minute. From beginning of coin genesis time to now, 345 days, total of 706174 blocks. Did a math, roughly 40 seconds per block. Off by 40%, but not dramatically different.
The faster the blocktime, then the quicker to get mining reward half event. Originally the half will happen in 4 years, but 40 seconds per block, we get half in less than 3 years in stead of 4 years.
