People will tell you all sorts of hokum about meaning, value, ethics, deities, maybe even happiness have some bearing on the ultimate questions. Your initial response is correct, none of it makes any sense. Utterances like "what is the meaning of life" literally, and I mean literally, are nonsense.
Questions cannot be ultimate as they inevitably get answered and then somehow they lose a little of their former gleam. Questions are temporary by nature, inherently transient. Answers can be ultimate but questions, never.
Nonetheless here's my candidate for tonight's ultimate question (and one stab at an answer):
“Who knows how to make love stay?
Tell love you are going to the Junior's Deli on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn to pick up a cheesecake, and if love stays, it can have half. It will stay.
Tell love you want a momento of it and obtain a lock of its hair. Burn the hair in a dime-store incense burner with yin/yang symbols on three sides. Face southwest. Talk fast over the burning hair in a convincingly exotic language. Remove the ashes of the burnt hair and use them to paint a mustache on your face. Find love. Tell it you are someone new. It will stay.
Wake love up in the middle of the night. Tell it the world is on fire. Dash to the bedroom window and pee out of it. Casually return to bed and assure love that everything is going to be all right. Fall asleep. Love will be there in the morning.”

The ultimate question and answer of life is the same. Be aware of you and your world. The experience and the experiencer are one. This moment is the only truth in life. Past and future are both conspirators trying to move you out of your reality world. We have to enjoy and draw energy from now. Past is dead and future will never arrive.

The ultimate question is what gives us 'total' satisfaction (that is complete and eternal).... because once the right answer is found and implemented, there would be no further questions arising because of the 'total' satisfaction having been achieved.

Yes, the traditional question asked by "Vetal to King Vikramaditya"...... When a mother(M) and daughter(D) marry a father(F) & son(S) , where the mother married the son(M,S) & daughter married the father(F,D), the relationship between the children born to these couples !

I don't concern myself with ultimates, when the ultimatums are coming fast and furious.

Why?
This question can be applied to anything, and when you ask it enough, you finally get down to the ultimate answer... "I don't know."
