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.

    It seems that the favorite number of the Alias TV show ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_(number) ) has more particularities than those of lost.

    I sincerely hope that the talented mathematician you’ve become will write an insightful blog entry about the recurrent obsession of J.J. Abrams !

    Your friend,
