  Life, the Universe and Everything - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Life, the Universe and Everything (1982, ISBN 0-345-39182-9) is the third book in the five-volume Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy science fiction series by Douglas Adams.
A radio adaptation of Life, the Universe and Everything was recorded in 2003 under the guidance of Dirk Maggs, starring the surviving members of the cast of the original Hitchhiker's radio series.

 Google Has The Answer To Life The Universe and Everything
Prak confirms that 42 is indeed the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, but reveals that it is impossible for both the ultimate answer and the ultimate question to be known about the same universe.
It is not unreasonable to assume that the universe before then had been 'normal' and that Arthur's life and everything that happened after that point was a direct result of the answer and question both being known (which would, of course, make the answer and question useless as the universe itself had changed).
Falsely assuming that the answer is indeed correct, that means that the meaning of life, the universe and everything would be 42.

 The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Answer to The Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe and Everything is a fictional solution in Douglas Adams's science fiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In the story, the Ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is sought using the hypercomputer Deep Thought, however the computer was insufficiently powerful to provide the Ultimate Question when asked after it had produced the Answer (after a very long computation time — 7.5 million years).
Later in the series, it is revealed that the Vogons had been hired to destroy the Earth by a consortium of philosophers and psychiatrists who feared for the loss of their jobs when the meaning of life became common knowledge.

From the famed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy it is known that the computer Deep Thought determined that "the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything" was "42".
This argument can then be proved using the premise that the question to the ultimate answer - another enigma posed by Douglas Adams's story - must simply have been "What is the sum of the numbers in every row or column of a Sudoku grid?".
I saw one today and it was 15 x 15, so the answer to everything could just as easily be 120.

As a mathematician, I've dedicated my life to trying to find patterns, structure and logic in the apparent chaos that surrounds me. Yet this science of patterns seems to be built from a set of numbers which have no logic to them at all.
Riemann discovered a geometric landscape, the contours of which held the secret to the way primes are distributed through the universe of numbers.
He realized that he could use something called the zeta function to build a landscape where the peaks and troughs in a three-dimensional graph correspond to the outputs of the function.
