  8. Well, there are many theories, but the most prominent one points to the great question of life, the universe, and everything as:

    "Pick a number, any number."
    "42"

    Explanation: (w/ spoilers for whole series)

    In the first book, Marvin the robot claims to know it, but no one ever asks him what it is. Later (in the 3rd book I think) he is talking with someone about how smart is he and how he knows the great question. During the conversation, he says, "Pick a number, any number."
    "9"
    "Wrong. You see? I'm much smarter than you are."

    So there you have it, the great question (although it's not a question, it's a command ) is:
    "Pick a number"

    i sadly notice that "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" is not known as it should
    bad times .. very bad hehe
    I know this. But, as you should know, it was harder to know how is the question, not the answer,right? 42 is just the answer for life, universe and everything, but what is the question? And don't forget the towel


  10. What is the purpose of this?

    I think there was also other matching question: How much is 7*6?
  12. I knew it too...thought it had a beard actually... (sorry)
    And the whole point of "42" is to take things not too serious:
    stuff like life, universe and what have you.
    And some think to take things not serious at all.
    Truth, however, will be somewhere in between.
    But that is not funny... I'm serious, or am I not?

    OK...and here is my question (serious serious):
    Shall I start a "Confessionals" thread a la Zooropa?
