Production
In “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams, the number 42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is. But the wonderful winemaker Simon Coulshaw loved it anyway.
