The ranges used in the summary do not contain (19,20) range.

I want to add the following: github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/… No matter how poor is your hashrate, there is a minimum you cannot go under. github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/… | |

Okay this makes sense, essentially you're looking at the timestamp difference from the last 2 blocks and you're extracting the 2nd significant digit. That digit is the determining factor whether blocks are too slow, too fast or just right. Can you explain the 2048 magic number though? What's the idea behind dividing it by 2048 and why that number?

@BookyPooBah Thanks for a detailed walk-through. In your explanation for subformula A and A1, for 20-29 seconds and 30-39 seconds, isn't the result of A1 -1 and -2 respectively?
