"The Ultimate Answer: 42 Solves 5 Fundamental Questions"

In Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a supercomputer calculates that the answer to the ultimate question about life, the Universe, and everything is 42. While the question itself remains unknown, there are several fascinating possibilities that could have led to this answer. For example, rainbows are always offset at an angle of 42 degrees from the light source, and the number 10 can be partitioned in exactly 42 different ways. Additionally, 42 is the largest number that, when combined with three other unique positive integers, sums to 1. Furthermore, the Sun will complete approximately 42 orbits around the Milky Way before becoming a red giant, and the expansion rate of the Universe, in miles-per-second-per-megaparsec, could also be 42.
