Again, I'm more than a little puzzled by your thought process on this
type of thing. Given your decision that "Are they still alive?" is a
reference to a secret (to us) assignment given to Hugo, why is it more
plausible to you (presumably more plausible by a comfortable margin,
given your willingness to base public predictions on it) that it was
an assignment to kill people rather than save them? The question "Are
they still alive?" works equally well in both cases, as does Charlie's
statement. In fact, Charlie's fits a little better if Hugo's secret
assignment was to protect people, insofar as the concept of "need"
better fits people in danger of being killed than people in danger of
not having the people they want killed killed.
If the question is all you're basing this prediction on, then you're
just the guy in front of the Keno machine, coming up with byzantine
math that explains each past game in hopes of predicting the next one,
and that (like so much around Keno) is more sad than interesting, so
I'll assume there's more - so what I'm curious about is, if you follow
back the chain of deductions that led to this one, do you *ever* hit
something that's been presented clearly and unequivocally as part of
the television show "Lost"? Or is it turtles all the way down?
