What Do The Numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42 Mean?
Do you remember the sequence fad with the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42? Everyone was trying to figure out what these were all about.
Apparently these numbers were etched on a rock below the water line, which was shown on a Reality Television show, yet that did not stop people from trying to determine what those numbers really meant.
At the height of this craze I wrote an article about this fad and this number sequence; http://www.

com/?4-8-15-16-23-42,-What-Comes-Next?&id=114966 Now we see a year later this fad has still got people talking and trying to figure it all out and then today I received this email about this sequence number; "I wonder if I can bother you with an odd question, I recently ran across your article "4 8 15 16 23 42, What Comes Next?" on several websites.
I've read it many times, but have been unable to understand the pattern, or find any information relating to it online, but I would be grateful if you could explain a little more of this to me.
" My article takes a pyramid and takes with inverted triangles inside and puts the numbers at each point and the numbers actually work out, except for the numbers you cannot know, so I guessed at those to a safe reasonable proximity or potential eventuality without admitting any plausible deniability of the truth that cannot be known with additional data.
I took the numbers and reversed them, put them in stacked equations, number of endings on each numeral, inverses, square roots, all sorts of stuff.
Probably need a better scientific calculator and could play around with it for hours.
Perhaps you can play around with this and have some fun? Consider this in 2006.
