Which computational outcome most challenged early decipherment of Inca quipu?

💡 Explanation

The largest hurdle to decipherment was an absent definition of mathematical or logical operations represented because although knots recorded numeric values represented using a base-10 system, syntax between numbers was unspecified making logical processing ambiguous, therefore the meaning of operations is unsure rather than specific encoding details.
