listen to the entire series, the anwer is ther, if you dont have time here is the answer....In one of the subsequent books in the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, it is implied that the question to which 42 is the answer is "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?". It has been noted that six times nine equals 42 in base 13. Whilst some have been tempted to infer significance in this (for example, that God has thirteen fingers), Douglas Adams denied that he was aware of this alternate solution when he wrote the book. He stated, "I may be a pretty sad person, but I don't make jokes in base 13."
this is revealed in the section 'Q scores 10' in the book 1 radio broardcast of HHGTTG.

The answer "42" had no context with respect to creation, and therefore the answer was meaningless.
So they built a second computer, the Earth, and behold the Answer: Every Life-form on EARTH=Life...
The question should have been - why was all of this created...

It's the whole number which follows 41 and preceeds 43.
Or, it's the answer to life, the universe and everything.

I know it's the ultimate answer but I don't think the hitchhikers have figured out the ultimate question yet.
