<p>I am a total noob, and I've been reading the wiki for a long time and have yet to understand the basics... My question here is that if I were to mine at 100GH/s (example), is it guaranteed that I would find a block after a determined amount of time? Or does it just increase the possibility that I am the first to find it? </p>

Does an increase in hash/s decrease the time it takes to obtain a block or does it increase the possibilities of solving one?
