So would that pairing be "Surly"?

Hey. What do we know? Hurley could be packing a massive three-meat extra-beans chimichanga. A Korean lass could develop a liking for such a dish.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

has anyone mentioned that the numbers can be seperated in to longitude and latitude co-ordinates and that those co-ordinates are for Nigeria?

Of course, now that I do a search myself, I'm wondering where the person my mate quoted, got his figures from.

This [link] puts it in the Central African Republic--which is two countries to the east of Nigeria. Meanwhile, this [link] puts it to the north east of Australia, which makes more sense. edit: Although the co-ordinates need to be nudged a bit to get here.

The discrepancies can also be fudged when you factor in the possibility they are stuck in a "Bermuda Triangle" region, of which there are more than one on the Earth. [link] It also explains why Locke's compass is going nutso.

Disclaimer: I won't take credit for any of these links. I'm just copying & pasting the work of others that I found elsewhere on the web, so cheers to the fellahs on the dvdtalk forum.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Interesting. I did some different maps with different sets

Here's one that uses the lottery numbers and the total number of survivors. I think this is a bit closer to where I figured they would be.

Heh.

I think this is a bit closer to where I figured they would be.

That's interesting. I love all the different interpretations of what the numbers mean.

I like quester's point about these folks being believably imperfect.
