Readers of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy books know that the answer to the great question of Life the Universe and Everything is 42. But the Question has remained a mystery. Until now.
The question is, “What rank does the surname ‘Campbell’ hold in the USA?”
6 times 9 equals 42 if you do the math in Base-13
(it’s true!)
How a HHG fan too! I knew I liked your site!
And I thought the question to Life, The
Universe, and Everything was “What is 6
times 9″ which of course does NOT equal
42. I love Douglas Adams, god rest his soul.
