If you take a test and just answer "42" for every question, the teacher should give you full credit, amirite?

And an occasional 69.

I changed my vote for you(: I kind of had a feeling it was, but for somereason I thought the number was 23 not 42. I think it's cuz that Jim Carrey movie.

That movie is awesome.

I did that in my math class. I got full credit, but ms spulnik was awesome..

I highly doubt the accuracy of your story, but you might want to try telling it to MLIA.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

just because it is unlikely, and you highly doubt the accuracy of it, does not mean it is not true. out of the thousand some odd users here, it really isnt that unlikely someone had a cool teacher that had seen hitchhikers guide to the galazy. you have no right to accuse people of their stories being faux, beause when you're wrong, you just made youself look like a giant douche to the story teller. If you go look at this duded profile, posts, and comments, I HIGHLY DOUBT he would be makeing up fake MLIA shit

i am, i didnt log it. what does that have to do with the validness of anything?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Oh, okay. I don't see any validity missing from what I'm saying; rather, your assessment that his story might not be "faux" holds no ground. Also, I've seen The Hitchhiker's Guide and would be a cool teacher, and I still don't actually see myself giving a student full credit for putting "42" for everything. It's a lot more than unlikely. And if you're going to be making this kind of assumption, at least consider that what he's saying IS ridiculous and is more at home on MLIA.

yeah yeah i know it would be, it just kind of pisses me off when people assume someone storie isnt true when it very well could be. im defending him because hes pretty cool, ive talked to him before and i dont think he would make it up. haha wow, i just spelled story like storie, i could correct it, but ima leave it there so people can laugh at my brain fart. I dont think a teacher would gie full credit either, but hey they MIGHT, ive had some pretty cool teachers where if i write something stupid on my test (find x "*circles x* here it is) and gotten credit.

In my math class I put 42 as my answer. My life hasn't made this much sense since I found out my birthday was the same as Luke Skywalker's.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually, that wouldn't work. 42 is the answer to ONLY the question: "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything else?" That, and only that.

"what is the answer to life, the universe, and everything." At least quote it right. And by "What is the answer to x, y, and z" it assumes you can take any of the 3 clauses as a separate and it'd still be a correct answer. Therefore, "What is the answer to everything?" Answer = 42.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

NONONONONONONO! It's only the answer to that question. It's not actually the answer to life, the universe, and everything. That's not the case in the book, at least.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Conor already covered what I would say. If something is the answer to "life, the universe, and everything," logically, it would be the answer to "everything," and by that logic, anything; ergo, any question. And yes, that is what it means in the book. I've read it...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Then you'll know that it is the answer to the Ultimate Question, which is unknown.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But the Ultimate Question is a question asking about an answer to three different things. If the answer to the Ultimate Question is "42," then the "answer" mentioned in the Ultimate Question is the answer for each of these three things.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But it's only the answer to the Ultimate Question. It's not an answer to the components of the Ultimate Question, just the Ultimate question itself.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one, 42 is only the answer to THAT unknown question. Which is why it confuses the shit out of everyone in the book. The Ultimate Question could be something like "How many rabbits can fit in the backseat of a Honda Civic?" We don't know what the question is, and it's poking fun at how everyone simply looks for answers without understanding the underlying question.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(scrantoncity) @946072 (Rocky): What if the Ultimate Question had been "How old is my mother?" There are an infinite possible Ultimate Questions and, by your logic, 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question, and thereby, the answer to each Ultimate Question.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i thought that in the book it said that the answer was 42, but they didnt know what the question was. which is why earth was made (to find the question). actually, yeah it was in the movie too. bc then the mice were asking the guy what the question was near the end

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Lol, right. It's only the answer to the Ultimate Question, not necessarily the answer to life, or everything, or the universe, in no specific order.

A bear has a maximum velocity of 23.6 miles per hour. You are 32 feet away when the bear begins to accelerate to its maximum velocity. It can accelerate from 0 mph to 15 mph in 12 seconds. But can only sustain maximum velocity for 55 seconds. You have a maximum velocity of 18 mph. Account for your delayed reaction, how fast must you accelerate to out run the bear? 42.
