Blocks are mined closely together very frequently.

The purpose of difficulty is to make the blocks average ten minutes - having hashrate is like participating in a lottery to mine a block.  Basically, they're guessing until they find the nonce.

Wow.
This has to be a new record?

Blocks 499795 and 499796 were mined with only 2 seconds between them !
Is the difficulty level too low?
