Since you say you can handle it

The answer you seek to your question is 42

The main issue is of course to understand the answer you need to understand the ultimate question. Currently there is a program running that will take approx 10 million years to complete at that time I hope to be able to give you the ultimate question, although I suspect that the computer may be destroyed before it can complete its programming in order to make way for a bypass.

Welcome to the phorum Kerian, nice to see you posting m8, even if you are not making much sense :wink:

It's OK, it did come up with the ultimate question. It is:

What is 6 x 9?

:wink:

is it 51

the program did return the following answer as the ultimate question

what do you get if you multiply six by nine.

however if I remember correctly the question was corrupted by wrong data input in the early stages of the program, and the program returned a corrupted question, therefore the ultimate question still remains a mystery.

Hehe yes. Although Adams inadvertently made the answer to the question correct...

What you get if you multiply 6 by 9 is actually 42. In base 13 anyway :wink:
