Idle Conversation / 'ello 'ello! (funny topic)
« on: April 16, 2004, 03:52:06 am »
Alrighty so I finally got onto this here forum, figured I'd start a random topic of conversation. So here goes:
According to a very well-known and respected author, the answer to the question
"How many roads must a man walk down?"
is 42. For that matter, the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42.
According to a very well-known and respected mathematician, the answer to the question
"What is 2 + 2?"
is 4. Note that this is not 42, even though (according to the above author) the answer to everything is 42.
So the funny topic of conversation I pose to you is this:
Who is right? The author or the mathematician?
