I. Love. These. NUMBERS!
There was time I was watching every twice episode especially to find them (and I found many), I was so crazy about Lost (still I am, but not so much as I used). I even wrote them on my rucksack! xD

please excuse my stupidity, but what is so fasinating about these numbers? just curious, thanks!!!

as a lost fan, i feel i should reply this. and i'm a little bored and i'm looking for something to keep me busy for a little while ...

the first thing that's fascinating about the numbers is it being an important and mysterious part of Lost. many people love these numbers just because of how they are used in the series and many many appearances and occurences based on some or all of them. i'll give you two examples:
- the plane that's crashed is Oceanic Flight 815, for example; 8 and 15 are two of the numbers.
- there are many references to them and some of them are a little more cryptic; for instance you see someone who plays connect four, and there are a total of 42 slots in the game.

of course, these numbers existed before the series, and if i'm not wrong, they were believed to have mystical powers by some, because of their "interesting" (although very simple) arithmetic relation:

4 - 15 + 8 - 16 + 42 - 23 = 0
15 - 8 + 16 - 42 + 23 - 4 = 0
8 - 16 + 42 - 23 + 4 - 15 = 0
16 - 42 + 23 - 4 + 15 - 8 = 0
42 - 23 + 4 - 15 + 8 - 16 = 0
23 - 4 + 15 - 8 + 16 - 42 = 0

and if you think of this as a table, you can put -,+,-,+,-,+ between the rows and each column would also give you 0. (actually this is because the columns would then be identical to the rows.) this is at least one of the properties these number have, as far as i know.

but there isn't anything really "amazing" about this, because all of the equations are actually the same, with just the numbers shifting places. they all can simply be explained with:

IF
x + y + z = a + b + c

THEN

x - a + y - b + z - c = 0

OR

a - x + b - y + c - z = 0

because simply, (x+y+z) - (a+b+c) = (a+b+c) - (x+y+z) = 0

in this case, x=4, y=8, z=42, a=15, b=16, c=23. but there's nothing special about these numbers in particular; you could add +1 to all of them and the equations would still add up.

i hope this helps. basically, I can say that 4 8 15 16 23 42 is a great number sequence just because Lost is a great show.

peace.

I didn't say it is only that, but the question was "what's so fascinating about these numbers?" and I tried to show something fascinating for someone who's obviously not a Lost freak .
