Why is 156.144.124.1 selected for clustering? It has the the highest

you can see I have plenty of candidates to choose from.

If 6 servers have the same offset and 3 do not which
ones would you choose?
I choose the 6 servers with the same offset.
Which would NTP choose?

I choose to poll 15 servers on my network for time synchronization. NTP
is selecting over 10 servers and clustering them. Some of the servers
NTP selects have offsets that are higher than the majority; in other
words, they do not have the correct time. Why are they being selected?
Why are so

These might be the ones with the most correct time. A high offset only
indicates a poor time if you are certain that the local time is
absolutely correct.
