How many roads must a man walk down?
What do you get when you multiply six by nine?*

Once you know the answer, the question becomes irrelevant.

Ah-uh-uh! remember - the experiment, all of it, is cast into doubt, cause of the ark ships that landed there!
Is the question wrong because of it? Or is the universe really just that fucked up?

Psst... LJ! In a later book in the HHGTG series, they reveal that the question to the meaning of life is "What is six times nine?" (And the answer is still 42.)
