Things I Noticed, 42

42

I hadn’t realized it’s from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. They build a supercomputer to find the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, and after millions of years it comes back with the answer: 42. They don’t understand the answer so they build a bigger supercomputer to figure out what the Ultimate Question is.

If you are looking for a seed for your random number generator, try 42.
