On the Island only one thing ages at the outside worlds rate, and that is the reproductive system of the women
The oppisate effect happens to men, the reproductive system is boosted. Women die in there 3rd trimester, if they get pregnant at all because the baby grows at an abnormal rate, not allowing changes to occour in the body
A 26 year old was mistaken for having the womb of a baron woman in her 70s, this is due to the time lapse
Looking at the clocks (in "The Economist"), we see that 2 hours 45 minutes (165 minutes) on the island clock = 3 hours 16 minutes (196 minutes) on the payload clock.
Island = 165 mins : Outside = 196 mins
1 day has 1440 minutes (24 x 60)
So 1440 divided by 196 and then multipled by 165 gives us how many minutes elapse on the island for every 1440 outside.
Island = 1212 mins : Outside = 1440 mins
So each 24 hour period outside is roughly 20 hours on the island.
Thus a year off the island: 365x24 = 8760 hrs A year on the island: 365x20 = 7300 hrs
A year off the island is just over 304 days on the island.
So four years off the island is around 3 years and 3 months on the island.
My head hurts....

Ok...answer recieved from a mathematician supports ALL my calculations...
"Yes, I agree that 1 time unit on the island would be 15.5 time units off the island. Given that Faradays experiment is correct."
..and for Smokey... Faraday's Magnetic Field Induction Experiment When Michael Faraday made his discovery of electromagnetic induction in 1831, he hypothesized that a changing magnetic field is necessary to induce a current in a nearby circuit. To test his hypothesis he made a coil by wrapping a paper cylinder with wire. He connected the coil to a galvanometer, and then moved a magnet back and forth inside the cylinder.
When you move the magnet back and forth, notice that the galvanometer needle moves, indicating that a current is induced in the coil. Notice also that the needle immediately returns to zero when the magnet is not moving. Faraday confirmed that a moving magnetic field is necessary in order for electromagnetic induction to occur.

"One small factor that might throw a spanner in the works though is the consideration of leap years. So the long term factor for years might not be 1:15 depending on the length of time that might be involved here.(I'm working on that.) I.ve never actually watched Lost. Had intended to from the start but didn't. Can't remember why not, but having not seen it from the start I then deliberately avoided it from then on as I'd heard it was very confusing, especially if you hadn't seen it from the start."

You've got me mystified now horsey. The above gives a ratio of 1:1.188 and not 1:15.5 i.e. 2 island minutes = 2.376 off-island minutes. Whereas up there ^^^ you gave a ratio of 1:15.5 i.e. 2 island minutes = 31 off-island minutes.
So where are we now?
MY REPLY: hmmmm well the numbers 118 118 are the sponsors of Lost on Sky maybe its like one big endless joke to them
I TRULY AM LOST!
Ok this bit is definately correct as per Episode 3 of season 4 -2 island minutes = 31 off-island minutes-
From that can you work out where my calculations went wrong and correct them?

RIGHT! The Mathematician returns with ALL the ANSWERS

WOW! Fluffy **shakes hand furiously** We are forever in your debt for this!

Well done horsey, totally supports so my drifting past thing, must go look into this more and start re-assessing stuff.
so it proves that penny didnt know she had hired the boat yet and why the helicopter hasnt arrived yet. When it does we can confirm the time difference between them leaving on a 10 minute flight and arrivng.
