Last weeks question:
According to Life, The Universe And Everything what is the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything?

Before I start an apology: I may have got the wrong book. I think the answer was actually in The Resteraunt At The End Of The Universe. I’ll have to check on that.

First answer was supplied by Polter-Cow:
What is nine times six?

Next was Svlad Cjelli:
damn u polter-cow 😛 According to the brain-wave Matrix in Arthur’s head, at least, the question is “What do you get if you multiply six by nine?” but there was some question as to whether this was the right answer, because of the cavemen dying out and the telephone sanitisers populating the Earth instead. Nozzer – a Geek and proud.

Third was Rodge:
BUGGER! I havn’t read that one yet… Hmmmm, howsabout: The number of days in the week multiplied by the number of hours in a day divided by the number of seasons in a year? 7×24/4 = 42

Mathematically, that is correct. Although it would be written (7×24)/4.Forth (and answer of the week) was Janus Dancing:
Where’s the band? And the answer is “BIG FISH.” (Sorry, I’m an insane American.)

I could not have put the last bit better myself :¬P Next was norahrose:
we don’t know. the machine (earth) was destroyed before we could find out.

Erm, no. Even if it was right your next note (HAH! i am the first one to know!) would have breached the infamous rule 7. Last wasShifty_Bob:
MURDER!! 6 TIMES 9!!! DAMMIT!!! I came here too late… crap, crap, $hit, crap!! You should explicitly warn me next time you plan to ask a Nick Cave trivia question.

I don’t know why he is on about Nick Cave as that was the week before.

Yup. Using Scrabble tiles and a blindfold (to introduce a random element), Arthur got the question “What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?”.

He was later asked if the joke is that 6×9 in base 13 does indeed equal 42. The joke is that the question makes no sense with the answer.

This weeks question:
Up untill the middle of season 5, how often has Buffy been bitten by a vampire?

Good luck.

Will
