Lost integer sequence

4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. These numbers are becoming more important in each episode of Lost and Marcus Dicander has submitted them to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

I don’t know (yet) what those numbers are supposed to mean in the show but it seems to me that the last two of them are a tribute to William Burrough’s 23 enigma and Douglas Adams’ answer to The Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe, and Everything respectively.
