Title: "4 8 15 16 23 42 - execute"

Description:

In ABC's show "LOST" several castaways are stranded on a desert island after
a plane crash. On the island they find a hatch, within which they discover a
computer from the 70's. They receive instructions to type the numbers
4 8 15 16 23 42 and then hit execute every 108 minutes. Or else... The cult-like
following of this show is obsessed with these numbers- continually debating their correlation
to the mysteries of the island and siginifance in the character's lives.

My final project will answer the question millions of viewers have been dying to know-
what do those numbers mean? And what happens when the castaways do or don't enter them?
