ah ha - but the American Astrophysists say that 42 is wrong and that the
answer is really 65.   Which I think also could agree with the book
since (as I recall) all the hairdressers (and Arthur and Ford) end up
back at the dawn of civilisation and have therefore subverted the
initial programming of the rise of humanity who were supposed to
determine the answer - so the answer of 42 was wrong and it *should* be
something else..... yes....?

mmmm - must be the effects of this head cold I'm suffering from.
Sneeze, sniff  8-(
