    Welcome aboard da shiz wiz 19! :D

    You may need to look back through this thread to get the idea of how it all works... but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it!

    Good Luck!

    DON'T PANIC is a phrase written on the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.


    So if 42 = Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.

    From research i found that,
    The Ultimate Question itself is unknown

    So we found the answer to a much bigger question! So is that question the answer somehow?

    I think it was a joke lol. I think the question it was talking about was the answer to life, which is 42 and that page was set up as a joke. But I don't really know how this works, so I'm not really sure what's going on :D

    101010 in binary is 42. Which can be interpreted a date, 10/10/2010 which could be the release date :confused:

    "In Life, the Universe and Everything, Prak, a man who knows all that is true, confirms that 42 is indeed The Ultimate Answer, and confirms that it is impossible for both The Ultimate Answer and The Ultimate Question to be known about in the same universe (compare the uncertainty principle) as they will cancel each other out and take the Universe with them to be replaced by something even more bizarre (as described in the first theory) and that it may have already happened (as described in the second)."

    I've tried converting to binary, octal, base 13 and decimal of course in various configurations for path names. Even tried concatenation instead of addition. Still nothing.

    Since the wording is as follows from the other page:

    "Auto-message from garbot1:

    WOW! I think you just found the answer to a much bigger question!

    It's just not the correct answer to this question. Sorry!

    but DON'T PANIC... try again!"


    I don't think it has anything to do with the bigger question. But I think "DON'T PANIC" may hold some sort of clue.

    Well, I was thinking a couple other things that haven't panned out. I tried to read the numbers as if "(" was a 1 or if '7' was really a misdrawn '1' still nothing.

    I thought about garbot1's arm not working and tried that angle in conjunction with 42 and which me to got 'Marvin' the robot and 'The Director of Robot Arm Repair'. Nothing here either that I can figure out.

    There are five 7s. I wonder if it might have any significance.

    Hmm...?

    I've tried 18 ways from sunday to figure out possible paths. Even added the numbers down instead of across. Nothing really stands out to me.

    9 10 21 2 (decimal)
    72 73 777 2 (concatenation)
    2 3 7 2 (and)
    9 10 15 2 (hex)
    11 12 25 2 (oct)
    9 10 18 2 (base 13)
    1001 1010 10101 10 (binary)

    7 23 12 (adding down columns in physical position)
    7 21 14 (adding down columns logical position)

    need to step back and rethink this.
