<p>You need to be online because mining is sort of like a mathematical race: whoever finds the hash of the next block (with value less than the current target) wins.

You need to be online because mining is sort of like a mathematical race: whoever finds the hash of the next block (with value less than the current target) wins. And in order to prove that you found this value before anybody else, you need to be online in order to broadcast it to other users.
