Assuming this is still relevant, I have a new guess... FIVE
I just watched the pilot episode again. Jack had a 5 tattooed on his arm. I paid special attention to him because he is going to be Jacob's replacement (assuming nothing changes in the finale).
As Kate was stitching him up on the beach, she said that he doesn't seem scared at all. Jack then launched into a story about a surgery he did on a 16-year-old girl where he accidentally cut the base of her spine where all the nerves come together. He said he let the fear in and let it take over, but only for five seconds. And he started to count.. One, two, three, four, five, and then it was gone. He sewed her up and she was fine.
Later, Kate is running from the smoke monster, and doesn't realize that Jack went back to help Charlie who had fallen. She was alone and could still hear the smoke monster, and she, while crying, counted to five.
Just a guess
... as is everything with this show!
