Either OP doesn't understand how to use the clock as intended, or the OP stumbled upon an alternate way of using the clock. I've been using the clock for a few years and have always looked at the rings of dates as being infinite. As in we keep adding to equal the current date. Then we follow the drops that happened in the minute column (i.e. minute 52 for the OP's post). Using the clock like intended, Jack should have stepped down in minute column 47 and that would have been a current date of 11/3/2021 or any of the 60 day increments since the original Goodbye @Jack Q drop.

The OP threw that idea out the window and removed the year and just ran with the month/day. I have to do some more digging on this style of clock use. There may be more things that line up that we all missed.
