The answer to life, the universe, and everything...

[Trielelvan]

So I was bored and pondering life, when it suddenly hit me, and it is a moral imperative that I share this:

October 10th, 2010 is the answer.

Yes, it is.

Please mark this date on your calendar and share in the celebration of this most wondrous of days.

How so? Like this.

October 10th, 2010 = 10/10/10 = binary 101010 -> hex = 2a = char code 42.

Therefore: October 10, 2010 = 42

If you already knew this, good for you, repent, and rejoice.
If not, you're welcome.

Personally, I'm going to celebrate by making cupcakes with red frosting that say "Don't Panic" and having a HGttG trivia party.
