Constant - the numbers

Well we had a strong return to our favorite numbers in THE CONSTANT.

Of course the helicopter's # is 8 42
The troops had 4 minutes to get into the yard
The coordinate number Desmond has to give Farraday at Oxford is 23 42
Desmond went back 8 years in time (2004-1996)
Penny lives at 4 23 Cheyne Walk
The Auction lot for the Blackrock artifact was 23 42,
Also interesting (The next lot 2343 was a Charles Dicken's possession)

This is pushing it but Penny pciks up the phone just before the 15th ring.

Nice list. I remember thinking at one point during the episode that the numbers were popping up a bunch.

Yeah, but they still aren't relevant. That's the sucky part.

I got the helicopter number reference waaay back in the Economist. I feel so special :) Anyway's I don't understand why they sometimes use the numbers and sometimes don't, for Example why not 15 hertz instead of 11? There's probably some scientific reason since I know the 2.342 has something to do with uranium, but still we all know this show is not the Discovery channel...........Right?........
