[SPEC] 56-42 I think I might know what it means... I'm not religious mind you, but I was curious about the numbers 56-42. It sounded familiar. There are two connections I've made. These are verses from the Bible.
56 When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt. 57 And all the world came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.
42 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" 2 He continued, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die."
Could this be a connection somehow?

Nope, it was just a way for Jay to be able to quickly find that tape in the future and nothing more.

I'm taking my second year of courses on the bible, and I still have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

It does seem quite odd for him to pick those specific numbers tho.

I don't think it was connected to the bible in any way, but it's also not just some way for him to ID the tape later, otherwise why didn't he just mark it "WATCH THIS" or something obvious?
It'll either be important (doubtful) in the end, or it was just something they were going to expand upon and decided not to for whatever reason.

He probably just used a two-number classification system for the tapes. OOG, they probably just picked the numbers at random. The 42 might be a Hitchhiker's reference.

Interesting at first that the name Joseph appears, but they specifically renamed Joseph to "Alex"; one of the few parts with a name change from the actor's actual name. Due to this, I think that your find, while interesting, is not applicable.

Those verses don't sound related to MH at all. You'd have as much luck finding significance in the 56th and 42nd chapters or episodes of any other series.

It's the combination to open the ark.

I remember the Marble Hornets Wiki having something about the Ark being a reference to something in the Quran, though I'm not exactly sure what...

It's where the everymanhybrid dudes go when they die. Noah Maxwell from the future built it to house two of every Jeff, Vinnie, and Evan.

5642 Is probably the combination to Jessica's safe in the hotel.

Jessica's safe is unimportant.

And as thus, the code is unimportant. /thread.
No seriously though what else could it be for? Like another poster said, there was probably more to that code but it was probably retconned in favor of a different direction.

Sometimes an ID number is just an ID number.
