1. The number between 41 and 43.

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

Terry didn't know the answer to question number 5, so he put 42 for it was the answer to everything.

The meaning of life is 42. The devils number is 6 and the number of heaven is 7.

6 times 7 = 42

Girl: The meaning of life is 42.
Boy: That makes perfect sense!

According to Biblical genealogies found in the gospels there are 42 generations between Abraham and Jesus. Christians contend that Jesus is the answer to 'the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything'.

42 could be considered an example of truth being stranger than fiction*.

*Or possibly just an interesting co-incidence.

In addition to be the Ultimate answer to the ultimate question of the meaning of life, the universe and everything, it is also short hand to refer to 'Life, the Universe, and Everything.'

As in "How's your 42?" or "What's new in your 42?"
Or even "Never mind what my 20 is, where in the 42 are you?"
