When you add the numbers in each column up and then divide by 6 you get numbers that translate to the ascii characters 'shimmr'. Shimmr of course looks alot like flickr and sure enough if you searched for the keyword shimmr on flickr you find ourmutalfriend42's posting for the Find815 website. The picture she posted is entitiled "Perfect Silence" which is in the last line of the Walt Whitman poem. Shimmr, or shimmer, is what stars do. Aren't the PTBS clever :D The pictures in OMF42's gallery were clues on how to decode the numbers on the pill bottle. Several of the images were inverted and reposted as a clue to invert the numbers. In the perfect silence picture OMF42's has a bag with a strap and on the strap are the Valenzetti numbers encoded using the a=1, b=2 substitution cypher followed by '+8' which was a hint to shift the alphabet 8 places. Clever indeed :D When you look The columns of numbers Sunda Trench were used to find the ourmutualfriend42’s flickr clue.

Clever indeed :D
