Theory #1 - Making of sulfur

It is known that sodium bisulfate and sodium thiosulfate react to form sulfur, making a foul-smelling stench.

This is what I think is the chemical reaction:

Sodium bisulfate + Sodium thiosulfate →
Sodium bisulfite + Sodium sulfate + Sulfur
8 NaHSO4 + 8 Na2S2O3 → 8 NaHSO3 + 8 Na2SO4 + S8
