Mr. Bacon, the book most assuredly does not say "7x6." There is a point where the possibility of "7x6" is tossed around, but this refers to a different point in the series, where Scrabble is involved.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, an ongoing theme of the books has to do with the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything and the answer to that question. We are told fairly early on that the answer is 42. Later in the series, two of the characters draw homemade Scrabble tiles out of a bag in an attempt to discover what the question actually is. This is what they get. |

nice! 5$
i like it for the illustration - with or without meaning :) |
 |
OMG NO TEXT PLZ!
OK, kidding, I like this one. Big fan of the books :) |
 |
lol @ everyone who keeps saying 54.
|
 |
well 6 times 9 IS equal to 54...
|
|
"It was later pointed out by readers that 6 × 9 = 42 if the calculations are performed in base 13, not base 10, which gives an answer of 54. Douglas Adams later averred that he was not aware of this at the time, and repeatedly dismissed this as an irrelevant concoction, saying that "nobody writes jokes in base 13 [...] I may be a pretty sad person, but I don't make jokes in base 13."
thank you wikipedia? |
|
haha 54 yaa
|
 |
hee. that's cute :)
|
 |
wonderful.
|
 |
very nice - i would love to wear this
|
|
54. well, thats just helpful.
|
 |
"I knew there was something fundamentally wrong with the universe…"
|
 |
i don't get the reference as well as someone who has read the series, but from the explanation Verdana gave, i love the concept and design
|
|
p.s. - is the robot part of the design?
|
 |
The whole thing that Earth was made to find out the question, 42 is the answer (also why it was replaced, it was so valuable). Later in the series we find out some "refugees" from another planet were sent out to space and landed on Earth, thus ruining the purity of the question answering device. This is why you guess they get 9 x 6 instead of 7 x 6. But even so 7 x 6 as the answer to everything is pretty silly.

BrokenArm91—No, he's a character from the BBC miniseries version of the story.
|
|
That is to say, he's just in the submission to say hello and take up a bit of extra space. =]
|
 |
Reading the series for the second time. $5

The answer to the greatest question ever asked!
|
 |
that is incredible. i would buy that in a second.
|
|
my friends would be so jealous....
|
 |
us dolphins and mice are so outta here...this thread is absurd.
lol |
 |
Oh 42 hah, i get it!
|
|
It would be really cool, except that it's six by seven to get fortytwo

renfrue on Jul 06 '07 so 42 is the scrabble score?
maths confuse me |
 |
i LOVE this!i would totally buy it!
|
 |
I totally don't remember the scrabble reference. And I feel it would be more obvious a reference if it were 7x6. Or perhaps, How many streets must you travel?
|
|
How many roads must a man walk down. I guess only the really cool people get the 6x9 reference.
|
|
Mmm, love everything that has to do with 42, $5!
|
|
i love this!!!
|
 |
@renfrue:
no 42 is the answer. It doesn't involve math, it involves the answer to life the universe and everything. This is clearly one of the best things ever. 5, and $ want. |
|
That makes me very happy $5
|
|
this is awesome!
|
 |
I didn't know what the reference was at first. I've seen the movie a couple times, but I haven't read the books. I think that's cool that it works out in base 13, but I'm a geek. :)
Before reading the comments, I thought maybe it was just supposed to be a distracting question (couldn't do the calculation til I switched the numbers around, cause I kept thinkin 69...). |
|
YES! great! it's in the fourth or fifth book, i think.
|
|
Its in the second.
