The Answer is 42

[Razo]

can anyone tell me why this is?

[Blackmageboi]

well the scientists put all the data to do with the meaning of life into a machine and made it interpret it all to find out what the meaning of life was and the answer was 11 so they put it through the machine that was suposed to figure out what that meant it came up as 42

or so i have been told

[Necronopticous]

You'll most likely have the epiphany when the Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy film comes out.

[Spammerman]

the problem was wat is 43-1

[Levian]

Yeah, it's some random hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy joke that has been used so much that it's starting to become annoying.

[TasteyPies]

Because you touch yourself at night.

[-N-]

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?

[Psychotic]

How many roads must a man walk down?

[udsuna]

Because you touch yourself at night.

Really? Just at night? I touch myself at any opportunity, day or night. But, yeah, the "answer is 42" is a stupid joke that needed to die long ago.

EDIT... uh... -N-... that's 54.

Your 4th grade diploma

[Razo]

aaaahhh, i see, it all makes sense now...

[gokufusionss1]

sorry to answer that question i'd have to build a computer the size of a planet. and you know planets soon enough they have monkeys crawling all over them it just isn't worth the hassel.

[Spammerman]

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?
54

[Yamaneko]

I don't get it.

[StarlightAngel]

Because the question was "What is 6x7?"

[Ko Ko]

Because 42 is the median lifespan.

Or, you're doing a test and can't be bothered to start a REAL topic.

Or, you're doing a test and you think the answer might be 42 but you aren't quite sure.
Or it could be 21 + 21.

[Resha]

No, Neel is right. What do you get when you multiply 6 x 9?!?! 42. Think about it! ;)

[-N-]

54
You're dumb.

EDIT... uh... -N-... that's 54.
You're dumb.

Your 4th grade diploma
You're amusing.

You'll most likely have the epiphany when the Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy film comes out.
You're right.

[Jebus]

Pick a number, any number.

Remember, Arthur really isn't part of the program, since the Golgafrinchans messed it up in prehistoric ages.

The most difficult thing that people must eventually come to realize is that, assuming there is no God, life really is meaningless on a universal scale. Yours especially and mine especially and everybody else's individual life especially.

The only way to solve that problem, however, is to bypass the maddening mental anguish that it would cause any intelligent life form to figure out this mystery. If we actually did the math on this, it would probably be the most deathly cold and depressing thing imaginable. We'd rush off cliffs like lemmings.

So, the only way to come across this solution is to improvise with a metaphor using the coldest art known to man. Mathematics.
The entire world, the universe, the multiverse, everything follows mathematical law of some kind. Without God, math is the all knowing, all powerful force of the universe.

So, using a mathematical problem, we can safely and happily come to the proper copnclusion that life is meaningless. 6 x 9 = 42 is only one way. 42 was simply the random number chosen out of infinite calculation.
The answer could also be 16 or 33 or 1564387.4fr232. The question to get that answer will be 4x4, 3x11, or 123+55. They all equal the same thing, 0x0, and it is all more of a metaphorical representation of the meaning so that our weak minds don't blow up. I mean, am I not correct that we ask this question in order to get anything but the answer we are provided?

In the words of Jack Nicholson, or, actually, whoever his screenwriter was in A Few Good Men, "You can't handle the truth!"

[Pheesh]

i see..... *head blows up*.

Peace out and :rock:

Or, you could just travel back to prehistoic Earth and play Scrabble. They'll spell out 42 soon enough.

Or, its Agent Mulder's Apartment number on the X-Files. But he liked Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy too.

I like drunk mice :)

[Ko Ko]

6 x 9 = 42... :skull8:
Only silly people beleive that. It's actually 6 x 7.
BUT OOH!

[Old Manus]

It means you're homosexual.

[rubah]

N is correct.

What is six times nine?

The moral of the story?

never throw the letter Q into a privet bush.

[Brian The Pink Shark]

one of the questions coined in the book is "How many roads must a man walk down, before you cn call him a man" i like this one the best :choc:

[Ultima Shadow]

You're all wrong. The answere is 42!

[nik0tine]

How many roads must a man walk down?

Before you call him a man?

[Sphere]

You're all wrong. The answere is 42!

Yes, but the point is, what is the question!?

Hehe, I can't wait for HHGG to appear in theatres, I absolutely loved the book.

[Croyles]

what do you get when you multiply 6 by 9 is already a joke that appeared in the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. so its not just bad math.
