The Mount Rushmore of Rock
Familiar with The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams?
“What is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything”
Do you remember this question? Here’s the answer – 42
What does that mean? So you may or may not have heard this response before but here it goes… “Anything you want it to be.”
If you are familiar with something called ASCII Code, which is binary code used by computers to express letters and symbols. This is the binary value of 42 is 00101010 the number 42 equals the ‘asterisk’.
In programming, at that time, the Asterix represented a ‘wildcard’. Therefore the answer to “What is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything” is a wildcard.
Meaning the answer is “Anything you want it to be.”
Therefore, refer back to the beginning.
