Extrapolating Polynomials, for ABC's LOST!

The numbers on lost are 4 8 15 16 23 42 .. but what do they mean? If
we do a little numerology and add them all together we get 108. And
that is the time it takes on the show for the countdown to D-Day, on
the island. If they don't punch the numbers into the computer by then,
there is no hope. But we know the numbers must have a deeper mystry,
and I have found a pattern in them, by extrapolating a polynomial
function out of the numbers.

Here is the master equation

y = -0.225x^5 + 4.25*x^4 -29.375*x^3 + 91.75*x^2 -122.4*x + 60

Just plug in x, and it looks like this

x=1, y=4
x=2, y=8
x=3, y=15
x=4, y=16
x=5, y=23
x=6, y=42

next in the series

x=7 y=46

I hope it is clear now what I am saying, is that this is a good way to
extrapolate codes, and functions based on things like codes. If the
sequence 1-6 maps to the numbers from lost, or any other sequence like
20-26 even, then it will discover the code. But if the code were more
complicated and something else mapped to the numbers what I did
wouldn't extrapolate the answers. That's why I used the alphabet as an
example..

Just read about it on wikipedia:

Extrapolation
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the journal of speculative fiction, see Extrapolation (journal).
For the John McLaughlin album, see Extrapolation (album).

In mathematics, extrapolation is the process of constructing new data
points outside a discrete set of known data points. It is similar to
the process of interpolation, which constructs new points between known
points, but its results are often less meaningful, and are subject to
greater uncertainty.

It's an ad, dork.

The UPC code 4815162342 had been assigned to the 8 oz. can of New Coke,
introduced on 4/23/1985 and discontinued on 8/16/1992.
