Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First of all, who is this episode based on?

Answer: Hurley

Hurley becomes obsessed with the French lady after he sees something on a piece of paper written by her.
2. In the correct order, what are "the" numbers?

Answer: 4,8,15,16,23,42

These are the "cursed" numbers that appear many times throughout the episode.
3. Where do we find out where the numbers first begin their curse?

Answer: When Sam and Leonard hear the transmission over and over again in the static

We find out about the numbers in mixed up bits and pieces but when you put them in order we find out that Sam and Leonard hear the numbers over and over again in the static. Another answer would be when the French lady and her crew hear it through their static, probably at the same time.
4. Which unlikely person also hears the numbers at first?

Answer: Danielle and her crew

Like I said above, the French lady and her crew also heard the numbers and turned their ship around to investigate and then they shipwreck on the island.
5. How does Hurley get the numbers?

Answer: He hears them from Leonard

We don't know how he knows Leonard but Leonard repeats them while playing Connect Four and Hurley uses them as lottery numbers, which turn out to be correct and he is now worth 156 million dollars.
6. What is the first unfortunate event that happens to Hurley after he wins the lottery?

Answer: His Grandpa has a heart attack and dies

First, his Grandpa dies. Then the priest gets struck by lighting, his brother loses his wife, his mom breaks her ankle, his new house burns down, the cops falsely arrest him, and so much more!
7. What happens when Hurley visits his accountant?

Answer: A man falls off the building

Wherever Hurley goes, someone around him gets hurt or dies.
8. Why does Hurley hug the French lady?

Answer: Because she told him she believes the numbers are cursed too

He explains why he's there and she says why she wrote down the numbers. He is so relieved that somebody sane believes him about the numbers being cursed.
9. What does the French lady tell Hurley to say to Sayid?

Answer: "Hey"

She might not have actually said this, just Hurley being himself but that's just what Hurley told him.
10. What shocking place do we see the numbers last?

Answer: On the side of the buried container Boone and Locke found in the jungle

Ok so just to put everything together: Sam and Leonard hear the numbers through the static, so do the French lady and her crew. They turn their ship around and shipwreck on the island. There, they find the radio transmitter and find the numbers are repeating themselves on it.

The French lady changes it to the message the castaways first heard. Soon after, her whole crew becomes sick and she kills them all. Meanwhile, Sam uses the numbers to guess how many beads are in a jar. He wins lots of money and the money is cursed.

He eventually kills himself. Leonard repeats the numbers over and over. Hurley clearly memorizes them and uses them to win the lottery. His money is cursed. Then at the end we see the numbers on the buried container (or as Locke calls it, the Hatch on the island. So, the cursed numbers are another mystery in the island.

But something ironic is that Hurley managed to end up on that exact island. Fate? Yes, I think fate is what brought them all on the island and that they are meant to live there forever. Well hope this cleared a few things up for you!
