## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: three pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The bills show one short immersion and then burial in oxygenated sand for most of a year or more.
- Only part of the ransom is present and the rest was never spent.

## What would rule it out

- A natural transport mechanism shown to deliver intact banded bundles from the drop zone to the bar in the required time.
