I have wasted my whole day on this. What is "this?" Well, I'll tell you.
4 8 15 16 23 42
That's what. Take away 42 (the bonus number, fans of Hitchhiker's Guide know that it's the "answer to life." So, take that number away and you have a series of nonprime number of 1s in binary expansion. Which means.... nothing.
Or, (I swear to god, I am not making this up) you can use the WOLFRAM SEQUENCE and obtain those numbers. But... all that means is David Fury (who wrote last night's LOST ep) is having fun. They aren't Fibonacci, they aren't Apocolyptic Numbers (there is such a thing: derivatives of 666, unless you break the sequence apart, and that's cheating), or Odius Numbers... I have one theory left: Leviathan Number. My brain hurts and my ass hurts, but here's the formula: (10666)! where ! = factorial. Anyone?
Also, if you plug in the numbers here in the following sequence: Latitude: 4 8 15, tab over to Longitude and enter: 16 23 42, you can see the satellite image is over a chain of islands near Australia. But it CAN'T be that simple? I need to stand up and walk around now... Brain... Hurting....

U MAKE MY BRIAN HERT BAD
Those numbers are Buffy's cell. I'm fairly certain.
Did anyone catch the combination to the briefcase? I have so much in my head regarding the numbers/curse thing.
Hurley is fine, but those around him are cursed. He owns the box company Locke worked for. he was on the TV when Jin was beating/not beating the factory guy, which Hurley has interest in (I think?), and got his money from the same bank that was held up, his GF died, had a pacemaker put in, which is what Jack's dad was - heart surgeon...
CONNECTIONS CONNECTIONS, and the crazy guy was playing CONNECT 4. NOT a coincidence. or WAS IT!!?? Also, the number combo is possibly checkers moves? I don't know backgammon - maybe related?
The numbers themselves aren't evil: it's using them to WIN or get GAIN that makes them evil/cursed. Which is why I think they may be coordinates: Danielle's ship heard the numbers, possibly checked into the coordinates, and ran aground.
Also, I have a distinct "Tommyknockers" feeling about that flippin' thing in the ground, and if Jimmy SMits shows up, I'm gone. PLEASE! Don't screw with me! My brain hurts!
Julia, who blew out math circuits yesterday trying to explain Knot Theory and why no, it's not part of String Theory.
My head hurts for the both of us. Maybe. My friend who runs a horse farm up in Wisconsin (she helps birth the foals) sends you positive thoughts and cyber shoulder pats.
*ADORES your icon anyway*
*has been corrupted by Joss with Dru/Spike and Simon/River*
*is a pervert*
*does not care*
And the icon caption makes me laugh.
p.s. I suck at math.
I kinda suck at math, too, I just have good books left over. (Well, I did well at math I just don't LOVE it.)
That guy went crazy, too.
*headdesk*
No... no more possibilities... Haven't seen Pi, but it's about the Kabbalah in numerical form? Am I off base? I tried running the numbers through the Bible Code (hee!) and nothing. Read a theory about the numbers corresponding to chapters of Genesis, but that's a bit much. Cain/Abel? Don't see a correlation on the show.
Must... drink... Don't stack the beer bottles into patterns or sequences...
I believe the show is filmed in Hawaii. Tough life for those actors, huh? ;-)
::runs and hides::
*cries, draws ellipses in the dirt, rocks slowly*
Math bad. And Lost has... lost me. Well, it never really had me but I tried soooo hard to get into it. I meander in periodically while my Pop watches it; he's hooked.
*tattoos 'NERD ALERT!' on your forehead*
Or maybe it's the number to David Fury's Swiss bank account. Now if we can just find that damn key...
And, hello! If you read the whole post you'd see I tried all the Fibonacci sequences (arcs, rays, etc.) and they DON'T WORK. *cries*
Kate has the key. THAT'S WHAT THE AIRPLANE IS. OMFG!!
DOn't make me come up there and Donkey Punch you.
4+8+1+5+1+6+2+3=3
4+2=6, 3 6s, but that is STRETCHING it a bit.
My question (if it is some obscure equation) is what is the purpose? A code for unlocking something? TO keeping something at bay? Coordinates? Chemical code? Alpha-numeric code?
Please, don't let the show get cancelled... You'll find me in a padded room drawing numbers and Connect 4 games on the walls... Hee!
Of course, I'm tking this waaaaay too seriously, according to above.
If you take out 42 (and give it the Hitchhicker's Guide's meaning = meaning of it all) the other numbers are an extrapolation of a binary string of 1s. Which could mean a computer intelligence, or higher-order type thing.
Am I the only one who read the Vinge books: Summer Queen and Snow Queen? Where there was a super computer that affected an entire universe and it's creation? (It's where - I suspect - Lucas got the whole "mitichondrian" element of Star Wars.)
