  8. Why does Michael have to follow the bearing of 325?
  9. What happened to Michael and Walt after leaving the Island?
  10. How did Penelope Widmore know to look for electromagnetic disturbances?
  11. What will Penny do?

Answers Given:
  1. Who is in the sailboat offshore? Desmond is in the sailboat.
  2. Where did Desmond go? He took a sailboat away believing that he could escape the island, be he was unable.
  3. Who painted the blast door map? Kelvin Inman's old partner, Radzinski started it, then committed suicide. Kevin continued it.
  4. What is the "incident?" The "incident" was a leak of electromagnetic material from the Swan.
  5. Why does Desmond have to enter the numbers into the computer? Entering the numbers and pushing the button releases electromagnetic material that builds up in the Swan.
  6. What's behind the door marked with the Dharma symbol? Nothing, just a stone wall.
  7. Where does the pneumatic tube go to? The pneumatic tube in the Pearl simply dumps the notebooks in a field.
  8. What is the log in the Pearl a log of? The Pearl log is a log of the times the button was pushed.
  9. Did Henry push the button? He had to, a system failure was never experienced.
  10. Why did the plane crash, and why did it rip apart? Desmond's failure to push the button most likely interfered with the plane's mechanisms (electromagnetic interference), and that plus the turbulence caused it to rip apart.
  11. What is "Zeke's" real name? Zeke's true name is Tom.
  12. Is the Swan really just a test? No, the Swan is not a test. The button must be pushed to release electromagnetic buildup.
  13. Would not pushing the button really mean death for everyone on the island? It would seem that failure to push the button would destroy the Island, the buildup only stopped once Desmond pushed the button.
