42

The ultimate answer to life in the book "The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy". Unfortunately, no one knows the question. At least, thats what they think. At the end of the final book, "Mostly Harmless", Arthur has been trying to find the planet "Stavromula Beta", which he must go to before he dies. However, it turns out that this place is actually a small club in London. He ends up travelling there, where he is nearly killed by his daughter, the earth is destroyed utterly, and the hitchhikers guide itself is also destroyed from existence. it is pointed out as he pulls into the parking lot for the club that the adress is NUMBER 42. there is still no question here, but there very well may be some kind of meaning.

So now everything is cleared up. sort of. 42.

The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. The question however is unknown.

6X7=42
Therefore a possible question is:
What is 6 multiplied by 7?
Or as used in the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" By Douglas Adams:
How many roads must a man walk down?
