The Numbers

Was there every any explanation at all as to what the individual numbers represent in the equation? I remember the Sri Lanka video with Alvar Hanson talking about the equation but I can't seem to find out what each number represents. Does anyone know or have theories?

Guys I have not seen this mentioned anywhere before so I am willing to talk about this.

In the first Episode- Pilot Part 1

11:58 minutes into the show, Sawyer (James Ford) walks smoking on the beach. If you see there is the wreckage part of the plane with '8 windows' and SAWYER was standing next to it.

In the series 4 8 15 16 23 42, Hugo is 8 & Sawyer (Ford) is 15.

15 is next to 8. And Sawyer was standing next to 8 windows.

I guess it was a kind of foreshadowing and the shot remains the same for nearly 10 seconds, I felt like why such a long shot of Sawyer smoking standing in the middle of the wreckage, but it was Foreshadowing. Please let me know if I guessed wrong.

Okay, here’s another mystery solved by Jay!☺️??

This is a picture of Mr. Eko’s forged Australian passport. In it, we can clearly see the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

Some numbers are a little tricky to unravel e.g. 8 and 42

August = 8 (not too hard)

But 42 is WAY trickier .

Solve for 42 =

Lost was released in September 2004 and ended in May 2010. Mr. Eko’s false Date of Birth is 1968.

Subtract 1968 from 2010 and you get 42 years.

That means Mr. Eko will be 42 years old (false age) when the show ends in 2010.

The conundrum here is that Mr. Eko died in 2005 (Second Season), making him 37 years old (false age). But that doesn’t really matter because, ultimately, the show itself ended in 2010 - which would fit perfectly and reveal the mysterious number 42 to complete the “Numbers.”

Pretty cool, huh????
