No, no, no... 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the
universe, and everything. The problem is that nobody knows exactly
what the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything _is_.
"What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?" isn't the
right question.
There is a theory that if anyone figures out what the question is, the
universe will be destroyed and replaced with something even more
bizarre. There's another theory that this has already happened.
