The Numbers

[ArikaMatthews]

i think that the numbers since they were on the hatch that they have something to do with the governments phoenix project that was being run on the island. it would explain why the numbers were on the hatch and why they have to be put in to the computer to stop the count down.

And then you can share it with the two hundred or so other people who played the same numbers as you and reacted the same way upon winning.
