42 in hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

[bad rider]

So who here can think of a valid question to the ultimate answer? I mean Surely if a giant computer can figure it out maybe we can guess it.

PS if the universe explodes then you guessed correctly.

There is no ultimate answear and there is no ultimate question.

Unless. Why do we live?!?!?! No real point in living. Unless happiness and love is a valid point. Or that there is nothing else than life. (I belive...dont really know that.)

WHAT DO YOU GET IF YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE

 

[Crofty]

What do you get if you multiply six by seven, like on the crudely made scrabble board. Yes I know 6 x 7 is 49, the idea is the answer is wrong and so is the universe. Or that Earth isn't that great a computer.

As said by the allmighty Richard...

"The meaning of life is 'bucket'"

... for every problem can be solved, somehow, with a bucket.

In Japanese, 4 (shi) and 2 (ni) are together pronounced like "going to death" (???É). In Cantonese, 42 sounds like "easy death".

How many roads must a man walk down?

 

[Hippobatman]

Why bother trying to guess the ultimate question? I mean, life goes on either way, right?
Say you learned the answer to the meaning of life, and it didn't resemble your current lifestyle. Would you drastically alter your way of life?

I would not. But that's my two cents.

WHAT DO YOU GET IF YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE

You get 54...

How many roads must a man walk down, before he can call himself a man?

How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

How many grams of Universal Corrosive is needed to destroy the world?

How many planets can support intelligent life in the universe?

How many seconds can everyone on the planet collectively hold their breath for without there being any consequences?

*jams a bucket over notyouraveragejoe's head to prevent the series of questions*

See? Bucket.

How many final fantasy games will there be?

 

[Seamus O'Toole]

Erm...ya get 54 ;> >

And since the Earth was created as "the most complex computer ever made"...and it's work disrupted. One can only assume that when we die our memories and experiences are gathered by the Greater Beings we've referred to as 'Mice' and then cross referenced against eachother to find the -real- Answer.

Live...love...drink hard b00z3...and hope one day we may all enjoy a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster

Woot.

FAIL

Uncompetative actually has it right. The Question is, in fact, WHAT DO YOU GET IF YOU MULTIPLY SIX BY NINE (at the of Restaurant, scrabble tiles in the -correct- edit)

The problem is that some editors (as well as the above posters) didn't get the joke (it's douglas adams, guys, not a math quiz) and editted it to something else entirely.

How many radio hosts does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

(Note it's not actually 42, it's 0 if you're in the UK. Cause Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross are screwing it over instead...)

Funniest thing I've read this month.

 

[spuddyt]

There is no ultimate answear and there is no ultimate question.

Unless. Why do we live?!?!?!

well we tried that, but it doesn't fit the answer: why? 42 - you see it doesnt fit

*slightly muffled* How many seconds till I take this damned bucket off my head...?"

*42 seconds later*

Okay I'm done with the questions....

Wait, No! One last. How many days (max) can a chicken last without its head?
