Posey's Clock Cipher: The Math We Can Trust vs. the 366-Day Noise

The good: The math holds up. Posey hinted at multiplication and addition in a Q & A. To decode the clock times, we convert HH: MM to minutes past 12:00, then divide the resultant minutes by 15 to get whole numbers, where 0 = A, 1 = B, and so on.

The bad: That iconic moment when Posey is heard whispering, "I've hidden some clues in that interview setup," showed 4:18, which wouldn't be revealed as noise until 366 days after the airing of Gold and Greed.

The worst: No Aha! moment
