What a surprise! The kids were quite innovative. They made a big placard for me. I'm not really into this sort of celebratory day but why not for once if the kids had made an effort and wanted to write a few words to reflect about their father.Amongst the many complimentary words that they wrote, they also wrote "42 the answer". I always told the kids I have solved the puzzle in the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". If you watch the movie shown several years ago, based on the book written by Douglas Adam, the end of the movie revealed the number 42 as the Answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. The answer was calculated by an enormous supercomputer over a period of 7.5 million years. Of course it was just a book and a movie. Nonetheless it made people thinking for many many years what 42 means. The author could not reveal what 42 meant to be as he had passed away many years ago. So what is 42?
