Many believe the answer is 42, but the literal text answer to the ultimate question is written as forty-two which many interpret as 38.

The author himself merely channeled both the ultimate answer and the ultimate question, without understanding the significance of either.

He claimed to be unaware that the ultimate question: "What do you get when you multiply six by nine," does equal 42 in base 13.

Proof that God has thirteen fingers.
