The meaning of life= 42.

 

Not true... that is the answer to the ultimate question...

While the ultimate question is what is 7 * 6... the answer is still somehow 42... base 13 anyone?

Base 13: Base 13 is a nonstandard positional numeral system. It may also be called tredecimal or tridecimal. As its names state, it uses 13 different digits for representing numbers. Suitable digits for base 13 could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, E and T (similar to base 12) or 0-9, A, B and C (similar to base 16). Base 13 is not used in any practical situation.

 

INT 13: A DOS interrupt used to activate disk functions, such as seek, read, write and format.

Regarding 42...

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story.

well, If anyone here is familiar with Tower Of Power, and their song What Is Hip, you will know that they say "Time to ask the ultimate question" at the beginning of it on Soul Vaccination: Live!

 

well.. I sat down and did the math (I'll try to find the paper) and it all added up to 42

 

so the question is What Is Hip?

Mac OS X's dictionary defines VISTA as

 

'Volunteers In Service To America'

 

as a Brit, this makes sense to me :)

 

 

Vista could stand for Viva In Standard Typhoid Illness.
