Comment on Why Is It Taking 20 Minutes to Mine This Bitcoin Block?parent

There is more than one solution to a block, so if someone does find it before you it's probably not the same solution. Making your head start worthless.

Adding to this. If two miners both discover a solution it is astronomically unlikely that it will be the same solution.

Given that two different miners will be setting the mining fee address differently, I'd say that it is guaranteed that they will have different solutions.
