I looked at several pages with the history of the blocks and could not see one that was close or over 10 minutes.
All are under 10 minutes.
The average total should be well under 10 minutes.
The obvious answers about block time aside which has been explained in every way possible, I'm really intrigued when you looked at that statistic and how long are those pages, as you quoted block 723,5
77.
Well, block 7235
50 was mined at 2022-02-16 08:05 and block 723549 at 2022-02-16 07:30, that's that 27 blocks from your quoted blocks and a full 35 mins time.Between 7235
45 (2022-02-16 07:06) and 723544 (2022-02-16 06:49) again 17 mins.
Actually, the median time between blocks for the last 24 hours has gone really down, we had about 178 blocks mined yesterday and just
155 now.
Funny coincidence, as I'm looking now at the blockchain 3 out of the last 6 blocks have been mined over 10 minutes.
