In the book series "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a super-computer declared the answer to life, the universe, and everything else to be "42." (It was a joke in the book).
My question was: Can you create an explanation that would make this answer believable?

It did the math.
You have to discover the numbers for yourself.

Check with "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"or ask the white mice.

No, that whole book is just random thoughts that sometimes are funny. I don't think the author had any reason to make the answer to the ultimate question 42.

I don't know what you're talking about. Where did you hear this? Add Detail.
