**Most likely** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- The khipus' group count and totals match the document beyond what chance would give for khipus of that size.
- Further pairs are found by searching colonial tribute records against khipus of known provenance.

## What would rule it out

- The totals are shown to be unremarkable, for example because many unrelated khipus of similar size reach the same total.

## Evidence 1 for · none against

[133 six-cord groups against 132 named tributaries; first-cord values total the assessed tribute.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/khipu/evidence/EVD0D4V83RR62YN/133-six-cord-groups-against-132-named-tributaries-first-cord)
