If 42 isn't the answer, and no-one else can help, maybe you should hire, oh sorry. Then I'd suggest Mark's Site. Plenty of geeks there.

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.
Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.

when you say the BBC series, do you mean radio or television? The BBC did both.
Although I can tell you that in the book, it was 'what do you get if you multiply 6 and 7'.
Dunno if that helps. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

The question the caveman spelt out with scrabble letters in the BBC TV series was:Big_Adam wrote:WHAT was the question to the answer of life the univers and everything IN THE ORIGINAL bbc series!.
"What do you get if you mulitply six by nine?"
To which Arthur replied:
"Six by nine? Forty-two? You know, I've always felt that there was something fundamentally wrong with the Universe."

Are you sure, really sure, that there isn't actually something fundamentally wrong with the universe? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->RedeyesUK wrote:hey wait a minute.......

douglas adams simple picked 42 out of the air really.
that and theres alot of strange and intresting things in the universe so why should the maths add up. i mean the universe itself is a complety pointless thing. why is it here when nothing could be here. the only use of the universe is to support a small amount of life and to gernraly be rather strange and intresting place.
which is nice.

I'd always thought he used 42 because it was 24 spelt backwards.
