The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything
Just in case you were wondering...| In Article [email protected], [email protected] (Mark J Cherkas) wrote: - - I am new to this group so bear with this beginners question: - Why is the answer 42 ? - Has Douglas Adams ever explained this ? - - The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story.
