    It's been a while since I published a quiz. It's time for another one.  Smiley

    - What's this?
    Bitcoin quizzes are technical questions of educational character that improve the average user's knowledge on Bitcoin, and help him rank up. You can read more about it in here.

    Answer the questions that follow and you will earn merits. We have talked a lot about probabilities, such as the probability of reversing a confirmed transaction, or probability of finding a block within the next few minutes, but it's time for another kind of puzzle.



    Let's suppose that the network's difficulty is 42 trillion, about half of what's today.

    • The average block time of the current epoch (A) is 10 minutes, and we're close to the difficulty adjustment. Once we reach it, difficulty remains the same and we enter the next epoch.
    • The average block time of the next epoch (B) is 8 minutes, and another difficulty adjustment occurs, which increases the difficulty, so that the average block time returns back to 10 minutes.
    • The average block time of the next epoch (C) is 1 hour, due to a catastrophic decision made by the US government to seize all the miners.

    What's the difficulty once it adjusts after epoch C?
