42 was the calculated meaning of life
In The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy what on its cover?
This obviously depends on what edition you look at, but most have the words 'Don't Panic!' in large, friendly letters, often accompanied by pictures of stars, planets etc. My edition has a picture of Marvin the Paranoid Android. If you mean the Guide in the story, then it resembles a large calculator and has the words 'Don't Panic!' on its cover - this is where publishers got the idea to print it on the book cover. Happy hitch-hiking!
What does the size of a galaxy mean?
The size of a galaxy means how old the galaxy really is and also the stars indicate how old the galaxy is. So both the size nd the amount of stars indicate how old the galaxy is.
How come on the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy they say the ultimate answer is 42 because 6 times 9 is 42 when 6 times 9 is 54?
If you mean the scene in book 3 (Life, The Universe and Everything) where Arthur and Ford are on prehistoric Earth with the Golgafrinchans and Arthur tries to find the Ultimate Question by pulling Scrabble tiles at random from a bag, it's because Arthur is actually descended from the Golgafrinchans rather than the early humans, who eventually die out, taking the real question with them. This means that the question 'What do you get if you multiply six by nine?' is, as Ford says, "either the wrong one or a distortion of the right one."

Why is the meaning of life 42?
The number 42 being referenced as the meaning of life is a joke from Douglas Adams' book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." In the story, a supercomputer is asked to find the meaning of life, and after much computation, it simply states that the answer is 42 without further explanation. It's meant to be humorous and thought-provoking rather than a serious answer to life's ultimate question.
Why does the number 42 mean all life?
It doesn't. It's just a silly in the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. The joke is that the computer was working for a few million years on the question: "What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything", and ended up giving a meaningless answer, namely the number 42.
What does 42 mean?
42 is the international symbol for the meaning of life. this is the symbol, because the meaning of life has no real value, because if we did happen to know the meaning of life, then life would lose it's purpose, because it's purpose would have already been done. In short, you don't want to know, and if you do, then good luck (if there are any further questions, please direct them to the movie "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". It can't do you wrong.) ;-)
