could be he screwed up when typing it or he really mean that the solution is maybe blurred.

Edit: Now the comments by Vincento

Yes, I think the PM has noticed it and corrected it.

[afrokaze]

[fedgerama]

as far as I see, the pm has given us a nearly impossible clue. its pretty much useless since nobody knows how to solve it

[coffeegirl18]

Ooo I wondered if there was some connection to DC since there have been recent updates on it...

I'm guessing possible grassroots ARG...

Has anyone checked out the site info. I can't I'm on my aunt's computer and have little time on here.

[fedgerama]

do you mean site info for the IAMCAPTURED blog?

I'm just embarassed that people haven't stopped saying "OMG" in the next thirty years.

All right, I'll try and be more helpful. The picture is named "addition.bmp" -- could it have something to do with adding up the values in the grid, either up-down or right-left? There's a (for lack of a better interpretation) plus sign at the bottom of the picture seeming to indicate the same thing.

The position of the individual characters inside the grid vary from cell to cell. Is this important?

EDIT: Changing the letters to their alphabet-placement value (A=1) and adding both across and down produces gobbledygook, as far as I can tell. I tried both using the resultant sum as an ASCII character (producing "j3 dcAl" adding across, and "seQpZWn" adding down) or as an alphabet-placement value (using sum mod 26) (producing "bynwvumd" adding across and "kycglif" adding down). The numbers this way are, for completeness' sake:

Adding across: 106, 51, 40, 127, 100, 99, 65, 108
Adding down: 115, 101, 81, 112, 90, 87, 110

EDIT2: To make a quick correction ... there was an errant "T" in my grid.

EDIT3: Trouting myself (seeing that someone else mentioned the addition earlier) and using the method suggested in that post (Scrabble tile values) yields nothing: "avpb xmw" adding across, and "unvxbtw" adding down.

I'm beginning to wonder why there are numbers in the post if we're meant to change the letters to numbers. What could they indicate?

None of those ROT into anything interesting either.

EDIT4: Using Base-35 math produces nothing either. Using only the last characters of each sum (because the first characters are all numbers): "t9ffnm5v" adding across and "cfd9m17" adding down.

Jesy looking at this puzzle real quick over lunch at work...
Typed up copy of pic:
O W X A Q S G
D H V K A C B
A 3 A U D 4 F
W V M Z L K T
Q X I O G M O
T J D N E T Z
U 1 C F R 2 N
N J E R Z O T


Thing that jumped out at me right away if I shifted 2 lines:
O W X A Q S G
D H V K A C B
A 3 A U D 4 F
T W V M Z L K
Q X I O G M O
J D N E T Z T
U 1 C F R 2 N
N J E R Z O T

I'm also starting to think the numbers are an order of some type

[Cowabella]

Quadrants?
