Could this be planned by the writers and producers of Lost, or is it just a freaky coincidence? Adding fuel to some of the popular Lost endgame theories, a few people have figured out that the mysterious Lost numbers (4 8 15 16 23 42) can be translated to latitude and longitude coordiates: 4.815 162.342. And guess where that is? Yep, right within a small strip of islands Northeast of Australia. Alright, who's willing to take a flight out there and get us some proof?Lost: Not so lost, after all?

So I went to www.di9fftr731.com - if you move your mouse around inside the picture, eventually it will all be green. But I can't get the member ID- Doesn't anyone know what it is? I've tried so many things...

I didn't move around the picture to get the numbers green - I right clicked and selected Loop and Play or something . . . But it only worked once. Then I got locked out after trying 3 different member IDs . . . What is the Member ID??

for those of you how get a location in africa... werent the heroine smugglers disguised as missionaries carrying currency from an African country. And the Black rock was a ship common to coastal waters of Africa during the great shipping trade days of the 1600's. So is it possible that some bermuda triangle thing is going on where distances get all messed up somewhere off the coast of aussie?

Well, your google map coordinates would seem to be not too far off. Since the pilot in the first season said that they were 1000 miles off course on their way to LA, that location would make sense. If I had the time and money, I'd go there, however, I can't.

It all depends where you put the decimal point, doesn't it? 16 23 42 *could* be 162.342, but it could also be 16.2342 or 1.62342, and so on. It seems unlikely to me that the decimal would break up one of Hurley's numbers, coming in the middle of 23. But that's just me.

Fly to those coordinates with Google Earth. Nothing is there. There is an island to the north east of there, though.

If you put the numbers in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds.. the location comes out in the Central Africa Republic.

yes and I had the idea a few days before, except I put in the numbers and ended up in the African Congo. She stole my idea.

Look even if it is the right co-ordinates I don't think it matters I think you'll find that there is more than one use for those numbers.

Too bad that Dharma Industries website is owned by some shmoe in Sweden and doesn't have the reversed 'R' in the logo.

This Swedish Schmo? http://www.it.uu.se/katalog/person.php?alias=N2-1296&lang=en
He seems to be working on "The Master Equation" - and the R was only reversed on the image on the Medicine Cabinet - the one on the foodstuff had normal R. Plus we do know that this is all make believe??

Seeing as the domain was registered on 9/30, I call major shenanigans.

Oh gawd. There he goes again. JJ Abrams riffin' off yet something else. This time, that classic episode of G.I. Joe where Duke concludes that the window wiper's message (the numbers) are latitude and longitude coordinates pointing to a secret Cobra base...and it turns out to be true!
What a friggin hack.
