Randi L: it's also 6 times 7, the perfect man in biblical numerology; or 40 + 2, cleansing division, again in biblical numerology; or perhaps 4 = death, 2 = easy in chinese numerology;
or it might be the number of paths a man must walk down...

Can't tell you. If someone knew both the question and the answer the universe would end.

You apparently didn't read the sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Great book, great movie... and interestingly, in ancient numerology, 42 would be the ultimate answer - put together, 4 and 2 stands for happiness and peace in life... and really, isn't that what we should all be working towards?

The question is why care about 42, I prefer 4, or 10.

Your question has to be about the Creator of life, the universe and everything. We ask questions like that of designers, planners, creators.
There is no purpose and therefore, no meaning and therefore,, no point to anything unless we assume there is God as per this atheist:
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

It is the final number from "the numbers" on Lost.
4 8 15 16 23 42
That should say it all.

You'd have to ask the great computer Deep Thought that.

What's the question, that's the question. Then we would know what the answer means.

Your mind is incapable of the concept. Just let it go.
