    If I remembewr rightly 42 is actually incorrect.

    At the end of "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" Ford pulls random Scrabble letters out of a bag to find out what the question is. It turns out to be what is 7 time 7? So the proper answer is 49.

    I think that's right it's been about 10 years since I last read the book but I'm pretty sure.

    The question is something along the lines of- "What is the true point of existence and life?" Weird answer, but my dad says it all the time.
