 | | In Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 42 is the number from which all meaning ("the meaning of life, the universe, and everything") could be derived. |
 | | A base-13 number 42, therefore, is the same as four 13s plus 2, or decimal 54. |
 | | For the mystically inclined, 42 in base 13 is the same as 110110 in binary (base 2). |
