I would suggest fetching all blocks between the latest block and the reference block (or at least several of them to have better statistical data) and using their timestamps to calculate the average block time. This approach would provide a more accurate average by capturing any variations in block times over the specified range.
At least if I understood the task right
I am not sure! This approach may lead to a period of time that is not reflecting the "actual" processing blocks time. Lets say someone picks up a block with a high network dificulty, this could result in a AVG bigger than just look in the past for an amount of blocks starting by the last one |

Why do we add the check the second time?

Should it be !referenceQuantity?

As requested by Tobby, we should find a more precise way to determine the time between blocks creation
