the solution to life, the universe and everything is 42.


All at sixes and sevens.


As I recall, the question showed that the universe was truly screwed up...

I don't remember if the question was ever settled. There were a couple of
philosophers with Pythonesque silly names who asked Deep Thought the Meaning
of Life, the Universe and Everything, and whose equally silly named
decendents spent their final years cleaning up on the chat show circuit, but
the computer designed to calculate the original question got thoroughly
panned by a small fleet of yellow butter-pat shaped ships full of petulant
Vogons and Dentrassi chefs.

But I sort of sense how Douglas Adams thinks, a small and persistent
obervation blooming strangely. No-one ever spelled out that 42 came from
seven sixes or six sevens, but 'all at sixes and sevens' is an English
colloquailism that Douglas Adams would not have ignored. Basically the idea
is chaos, but not exactly chaos, just an arbitrary collection is decreet
entities that exist in no clear relation to each other, so all kinds of silly
possibilities exist. Fits, no? And don't get me started on how I think he
came up with 'The Long Dark Teatime Of The Soul'...
