I still don't understand testnet difficulty

Hi,

Since a few hours testnet difficulty==1.

Using this calculation: http://tpbitcalc.appspot.com/?difficulty=1&hashrate=1&exchangerate=557.73&bitcoinsperblock=25.00&rigcost=1000.00&powerconsumption=80.00&powercost=0.10&investmentperiod=355
It looks like I should solve a block in about an hour. But after 5 hours cpuminer didn't do it.


I know it's statistically possible, but maybe I'm missing something?

edit: well, it's high again (110221) but for 5 hours it was 1, I'm completely lost, why didn't the miner find a solution?
