The Ultimate Question

A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

But he can't, so piss off!

 

Ha!

I´ve got a woody every morning, does that force me to be a lumberjack ?????????

Timber !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The answer to the world, the universe and everything is:

 

42 

 

 

 

I assume a woodchucker would rather chuck-up to a female woodchucker than to chuck wood, therefor the answer must be close to zero. although Im fond of the universal answer of 42 as provided by the old man (no offence Dick)

That's easy;

6 x 7

I'm not sure of the formula or line of questioning that leads to those two numbers - but this does prove that the penultimate answer to life, the universe and everything has two parts...

There is more to this than just a joke. You may remember that in the 3rd part of the Hitchhiker series they draw scrabble stones from a sack to come up with the question and get "What do you get when you multiply six by nine". At first look you may say: "So what? 6x9 is 54 and not 42", but in  numeric system based on the number 13 the numeric value of "54" (in our decimal system, 5x10 +4) would be written "42" (4x13+2). So maybe the hidden meaning behind this question and anwer is that it would in some way be more "natural" to have a numeric system based on the number 13. It is interesting to know that quantum physicists work with all kinds of models requiring higher-dimensional spaces than our basic 4 dimensions (3 space + 1 time dimension). Some of them require 11, 13, 17 or even more dimensions. Quite an interesting thought, isn't it?
