UraL Why wouldn't you just search something as simple as "42"? It takes even less effort than typing out the words of your question. https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/42

UraL I think they added it as a joke of the movie whith the word "Hitchhiker" in it and its about a supercomputer that answers the answer to everything. And it answers 42. It probably uses 42 in some of the answers because ut may be the answer to all Sololearn Questions. Or what we see in all the computers, which I call it everything. ig?

little more to it- 42 is the ascii value for the * symble, its commonly used as ‘anything you want’. implying the answer is *
