Fourty-two is the answer that Deep Thought comes up with to the question:
"What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?" The mice
commissioned the planet-builders to build a computer (planet) that would
calculate the question as to why it came up with 42. And, through a
strange misadventure (a whole trilogy of them ;-) Arthur comes to find
that the question is: "What is six times seven?"
