yeah, but thats the initial question... he didn't understand it, but that's not what the guy just asked, the question 42 came out to answer was as stated...
oh, Never mind,
6X7 is a cheap way to make sense out of a nonsensical concept.

I guess you didn't get the joke. The whole point is that to even contemplate questions like "what is the anwer to life, the universe and everything?" is pointless as its not even a real question with an understandable topic. Also, to ask computers philisophical questions is pointless as well, as philosophy is a solely human endeavor.

Stop worrying about the meaning to life, and just live it.
