The mice would say that the question is "How many roads must a man walk down?"

I prefer "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"

Ive read them all many... MANY times over the years. As well as listened to the radio show and have seen the BBC series.

"Think of a number," as per Marvin, though that's not really a question, though it might very well be the Ultimate Question. Or do you mean that it's impossible for both the question and the answer to coexist in the same universe? Unless it has already... which explains a lot of things.

I, however, place a lot of faith in the power of pulling Scrabble tiles... so, "six by nine" in my humble opinion, stands.

42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of the Life, the Universe, and Everything, not the "Meaning". This topic loses a lot of its value, despite that seeming to be a very small error (and accidental, since asking for the question indicates that you're very aware of it), because it contributes to the misconception that 42 = meaning of life.

And the question is obvious, anyway;
How many Charr does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

If you're wondering about the MEANING of Life, that's different. Here's the meaning: "Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations." (Monty Python)

Sorry to sidetrack the thread!

...that all human coporial life is reduced to an equation, and the answer is 42.

"What is the meaning of Life"

To obtain ultimate enlightenment, do the backwards math from 42.

Correction plz, its the hitch hikers guide to the GALAXY not the UNIVERSE

When any one being correctly identifies the meaning of life it will instantly change so that it must be worked out again.....

I think it is the true question. I take it as the universe being corrupted.

Although if the question WAS corrupted (despite my theory) the only thing close to it (and making sense) is:
What do you get when you multiply six by seven.

hmmm, i think: "I don't know" is a better ultimate answer^^
like: -what is the ultimate question, i don't know.
-what/who is god, i don't know.
-what is the meaning of life, i don't know.

u see^^
:P
