How is it that "1 Day Luck" was at 52% at about the 11th hour into this block and now it is at 104% at the 15th hour into this same block?

Are we finding blocks that we are not seeing [two more] that would send us to 104% for 1 Day Luck?

If someone tries to say 104% is for the last 24 hour period, they are wrong by that calculation as well.
The luck went up because the 19 hour block 326328 dropped off the 24 chart. The luck doesn't include the current block, so it's not updated in realtime. I believe it is the pool luck for the 24 hours preceding the start of the current block, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Hence why in the previous discussion on difficulty why I said I wasn't sure with Slush. The calculation for luck as difficulty/shares is trivially easy, but it's not immediately apparent what timeframe slush looks at since it's not updated in realtime.

No, it does not make sense after looking at it more.

You said 24 hours "preceding the start of the current block."

The current block at that time was the one I high lighted in blue. We were 15 hours into it when I posted this in the forum.

Count the hours before that block by just looking at when the block was found [high lighted in green from the 19 hour block and the 7 hour 50 minute block from date 10/21/2014 to 10/22/2014.  THAT is when the block was FOUND for each of those blocks.  The 16 hour 26 minute block was found well into 20/23/2014 [almost a full 48 hours from that 19 hour block.

ALSO:  24 hours from the beginning of that block in discussion where the luck changed from 52% to 104% is highlighted in purple.

Again, you said 24 hours (1 day - as in 1 Day Luck) preceding the start of the current block.  If that is the case, you simply go by WHEN the block prior to that one was found: 2014-10-23 03:15:58   2:00:10.  Make note it is the 23rd Day of October.

24 hours before that block would have fallen on the 22nd day of October for the block found 2014-10-22 03:12:25.

So, NO, it still does not make sense.

Sorry, if fishy things would not occur in math [pretty much a universal language] then those who participate would not think something fishy is going on.

People can criticize me all they want to.  I learn fast and I analyze everything.  If I ever see what I think is an error, I ask questions instead of being herded around like sheep.

That's just me.

I'm sure what I'm typing right now is being analyzed by moderators.  The moderators are the ones I'm concerned about.  They are the shepherds and we are the sheep.

Any problems with me asking questions?

You would be asking questions if you have experienced things I have experienced.

For instance.  The other night I navigated over to BTCGuild.  All of a sudden my fan in my laptop starts blowing real hard to do some serious cooling.  I'm like, that's not good.  So, I went to my activity monitor in my Mac and saw BTC Guild in Safari was using 99% of my CPU.  WHY?  I believe it was to use my laptop to hash.  

I send the owner of the guild a PM telling him about it and 10 to 15 minutes later it stops.  

Too much fishy crap going on around here.  Well, the owner of the guild is a moderator on here.  I never get a response to the PM I sent.  The CPU usage just stops and it hasn't occurred anymore.

So, what would you think if you were me?

I'm not one to be herded around like sheep.

I ask questions...
