I would assume so.

4 8 15 16 23 42

42 survivors on the flight

Numbers* 8:15-16

8:15 And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the
tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer
them for an offering.

8:16 For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of
Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the
firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.


* - 4th book of OT.

I believe 815 was the flight number as well. And the number of the copier Locke had when it showed him at work.

And Kate's lockbox.

If someone has Tivo of previous episodes they could check into the seat numbers on the plane of some of the survivors. Also any house numbers that are shown.

4 8 15 16 23 42

The crazy dude was playing Connect 4.

Also, as everyone knows, 42 is the answer. SLATFATF!!

There were 48 survivors.

4- 4 years Locke was in the wheelchair, Sawyer made a "wish" 4 years ago,And now the man from Austrailia in Numbers killed himself 4 years ago , It was 4 years since Hurley's grandpas bypass

8 15 flight number Kates lock box, Lockes copier, whenever a clock is shown. 8 people died at the shoe factory, claire is 8 months pregant

16- 16 years ago the french woman landed, 16 years ago te crazy guy heard the numbers

23- ?

42- 42 is the natural vibration frequency of human DNA If you go to the Fuselage page it vibrates., it is the answer to life in the kichhikers guide to the galaxy


15+16+23-42-8=4

15+16+23-42-4=8

42-23-16+4+8=15

42-23-15+4+8=16

42-16-15+4+8=23

15+16+23-4-8=42

04 + 08 + 42 - 16 - 23 = 15
+ + + + + +
08 + 42 + 04 - 23 - 15 = 16
+ + + + + +
42 + 04 + 08 - 15 - 16 = 23
- - - - - -
16 + 23 + 15 - 08 - 04 = 42
- - - - - -
23 + 15 + 16 - 04 - 42 = 08
= = = = = =
15 + 16 + 23 - 42 - 08 = 04

They all add or subtract to equal one of the numbers

4:8- Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
4:15- The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
4:16- The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
4:23- And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

More numbers - Danielle's note with the numbers has 7 rows and 6 columns. 7 x 6 = 42, which is also the same number of slots in the Connect Four game.

In the first episode Jack tells Kate about the surgery that taught him how to let the fear in ... he was operating on a 16 year old girl

If the numbers represent letters i would be:
4=D
8=H
15=O
16=P
23=W
42= O

D H O P W O

Which can say WHOPOD. the hatch is a POD.

Anything else?

Found this on another site

Kate's airplane toy is the key. And by key, I mean the KEY. I predict that they will open or break the plane to reveal some sort of device or container inside, that will only activate or be able to be opened by using the Numbers as the combination

There were 48 survivors of the flight, not 42. (I'm pretty sure).

Lenny said using the numbers opened the box. :hmmm:

The total of the numbers is 108. 1+0+8=9, which returns us to the magical 9.

The hatch in the jungle?

Something else that kind of slipped by, was Hurley was apparently in the looney bin for some time. I wonder why?

The Connect Four field is 7 columns by 6 rows, 42 spots.

I was wondering that also. And what did he do to his family? (remember in the interview when he was talking about that, before his grandfather keeled over)
