a variable and a constant. dang!!! zort thats great. BTW- in case you all do not know yet me and Inna are the same person.

also, the message i get when i post here is that the comment will post after admin's approval. then it takes about a day. i bet its not the same for you zort. anyway, I am going to find my latest anagram and post here in a minute.

zort what about the numbers 4 & 5. I mentioned above that these two numbers have stuck out in the prints. JustThinking mentioned on the Washington Post blog that we also need a variable for cipher formula which requires a couple of numbers???

I've just realised that if we are looking for an Affine Cypher then we need a "Variable" and a "Constant"

I do believe the typos are deliberate - as other mistakes were corrected. Others are probably right that the typos in the purchase letters are seperate from the errors on the site.

i think that the first two typos listed here have been corrected. I cannot find them on the web page any more. am i crazy? can someone confirm please?

@Orchid 7 - I sent a couple of PM's to tomrex (5th letter recipient), requesting that he email scans to Zort. I know he read them, but don't know if he ever got around to sending the scans.

Thanks for concern about my injury. Unfortunately, today is worst day for pain since accident. I have been doing "the whimper in a fetal position" most of the day. I hope tomorrow is better.

2009-12-01T20:20:18.046-05:00

Since we still don't have any clues for the red ?, I will toss out one more straw for us to grasp at; the "sold out" banners placed on the prints are not the same color. Locke's Secret, the Crash and the Smoke Monster are the only ones with a red banner. All the rest are shades of orange.

Oddly enough I typed out the clues from this site and got

2009-12-01T15:28:44.303-05:00

Could the mistakes spell out a phrase. I'm thinking that the words with spaces could indicate where spaces would be in the phrase. A word ends with an S and the next word begins with an A. Something like that?

2009-12-01T02:38:08.570-05:00

Inna-if there is a stat number what about 54 or 45.These are the two numbers which have stood out in the Hurley/love triangle prints.

andalone-first how is your foot, I hope your not in to much discomfort. Next I think I read you were trying to find the 5th reveal letter? How's that going, any luck?

2009-11-30T13:57:08.262-05:00

In the URLs that had the seemingly random numbers tacked on to the artist, seems kinda strange that "7" never appears.

Good work! :-D

2009-11-30T07:20:26.595-05:00

I have been restudying the first purchaser letters. Letter 4 seems to be missing an "IN" or "AT" near the end of the letter. "that's what all the cool undergrads wear __ their new digs." Which one is more likely the missing word?

2009-11-30T07:18:20.555-05:00

I have been re-studying the first purchaser letters. I have a question on the fourth letter. It seems to be missing an "IN" or "AT" near the end.
"That's what all the cool undergrads wear __ their new digs." Which is more likely?

2009-11-29T17:33:19.717-05:00

ok, another thought: i used just the typos from the DCaap site, which are s t a s i n t h o f t.

anagram comes to: shift stat no.

shifting is used in certain ciphers: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~gawron/crypto/lectures/shift_cipher.htm

stat i think is used in computer tech terminology, but i am not sure exactly what it is. but if someone does know, perhaps the stat number, if there is one, is the shift number. but then what language is shifted, ie part of the cipher? the titles? the url's?

2009-11-28T23:16:33.546-05:00

Hmmm, a thought - we seem to have a pattern of some words with odd spaces and some missing letters. Perhaps the missing letters go into the odd spaces?

2009-11-26T03:52:25.857-05:00

Just added the missing "of" from the 14th Poster First Purchaser letter.

2009-11-25T15:35:45.143-05:00

15 prints, 15 letters (A. Miller), bunches of odd letter, almost 15?

could the 5 spaces indicate spaces between: xx xxxx xxx xxxx xx

but doesn't fit the pattern of URLs revealed.

Thanks LT, for bringing the links for Adams Cambell's adss/posters over to this post. I still haven't gotten a reply to the email I sent him.

Since the ISBN# for Python Cookbook and "Donald F. Presario" are from the same swag/frame, could they be linked somehow? Donald F. Presario has 15 letters...

not sure how this maybe connected, but also something about these guys at Found and what they do seems inline with what is going on here.

Found are the people who do the collages with found letters, postcards,notes etc. i am not completely sure how this connects, but on the other hand, these guys so seem right up the alley of Lost and this whole campaign.
