What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything
That's not the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer (42).
The Ultimate Question is the actual inquiry behind the Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.
The Ultimate Question was sought after the supercomputer Deep Thought revealed the Ultimate Answer to be 42. When Deep Thought asked, Loonquawl and Phouchg were unable to say what the actual question was.
Hence, Deep Thought made the plans for the supercomputer Earth, that would solve the Question in ten million years. However, five minutes before it was due to be complete, the Vogons, under the orders of Gag Halfrunt, destroyed it to make a hyperspace bypass.
The Mice came up with six possible questions.
- Why?
- Are we stronger than the elements?
- What's yellow and dangerous?
- What do you get when you multiply six by seven?
- How many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb?
- How many roads must a man walk down? (The mice chose this Question as the one they would claim to be the correct one.)
