The Answer is 42 - but what about the Question?
Douglas Adams stated that the ultimate Answer to Everything is 42.
I've never heard about the Question, though, so what is it?

What do you get when you multiply six by nine?
In the books, somebody (Prak, iirc) says "The Question and Answer are mutually exclusive. Knowledge of the one logically precludes knowledge of the other." Which, in simpler terms, means if you know the Answer, you cannot know the Question and vice versa.

Being the Answer to Everything, the Question can be assumed to be anything.

Actually, it's an interesting one. Douglas Adams was a bright fellow, pretty good at maths and physics from what I've heard. If I remember right, it's the mass (or size) of the graviton which is 4,19 x 10^-42 some something(or something like that). Of couse, this is not stated anywhere in the book.

Meh, I heard he just picked a random number. I think in one of the later books it was
"What do you get when you multiply six by seven?"

The question is:
What is the sum of characters in Old Manus' last post (#10 in this thread) and the characters in his name?
"What is love? Baby don't hurt me.Old Manus"
or
"Old ManusWhat is love? Baby don't hurt me."
This equation includes spaces as characters.

A. 42
