HHGTTG FTW!

...I bet you could abbreviate an entire sentence and still have it make sense. lol

Well anyways, I just thought that this was totally awesome of google. Maybe you will, maybe you wont. But I'm sure we are about to find out who are HHGTTG fans. ^_^

answer to life, the universe, and everything = 42

How in the world did they come up with that?

[tybrenis]

LOL! Thats AWESOME. +rep!

Spacehonkey, its from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a great series of books that I encourage you to read, very funny.

I'll check it out

[MaxOC]

wait i thought it got updated from 42 to polka dots

[LiQuid-V2]

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Movie sucked though, at least for me.

Gotta read the books.

Also I think alot of people didn't get the humor of the first one so I don't think they will make The 2nd book Restaurant at the End of the Universe into a film.

I have the BBC TV series on DVD. Much better than the movie.
The books are great. There are 5 books in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (increasingly inaccurate) Trilogy.

Good to see Google has the answers too!

[XcOM]

HHGTG is brilliant, the TV series is MUCH better than the movie, coz i have seen the series the movie seemed incomplete!

answer to life, the universe, and everything = 42
But to understand the answer you must first know what the question is!
+Rep to anyone that knows

+Rep to anyone that knows
What do you get if you multiply six by nine? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Scrabble_6x9.jpg)

(BTW, I knew the answer before wikiing for it)

[XcOM]

+rep as promised, and i always rem that question coz it screws people up,

"BUT 6*9 is 54"
not if you work in 13 base!

answer to life, the universe, and everything. -- 45 spaces, letters and punctuation.

Of course, google tells us The "AND" operator is unnecessary.

45 - 3 = 42.

Just thought I'd share this revelation.

Yeah, but... If you're removing the AND you should also remove one of the spaces...

theres been meny an argument regarding the answer, at one point the author said it was a number he had to think for a sketch with python legand "John Clease"

[FPMachine]

SAME HERE! I have the big book with all 5 shoved into one easy to use guide:P. I also have the TV series and the movie, plus a t-shirt.

The movie was cool to watch but does not do the book justice, especially since they tried to put in a crappy love story.
