The phrase is so vague that it winds up meaning either whatever you want it to mean or nothing at all.

What is the answer to the ultimate question of life and the universe and everything?

42.


According to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy what is the ultimate answer to life the universe and everything?

42. (see the related question)


In the movie The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy what is the ultimate question of life the universe and everything?

The question, as it appeared in the Douglas Adams book Life, the Universe, and Everything is "What do you get if you multiply six by nine?"Having discovered that the Answer to the Ultimate Question of life, the universe, and everything is "42," the search continues to discover what the actual question was. The answer to this question is of course wrong because 6 x 9 = 54 in our base 10 math. However, 6 x 9 does equal 42 in base 13, a fact disclaimed by author Adams as completely serendipitous.(see related question)


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."


What is the major conflict in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?

In the 'Hitchikers Guide', the major conflict is the aliens destroying the earth to make room for a space highway. This is significant because many years ago, (millions) an intelligent race of mice built a super computer to make the ultimate answer: 42. This launched they quest to build another super computer to find the ultimate question to the ultimate answer. The Earth was that second super-computer.

This is a fake.*The ultimate question is the one that makes you think the hardest :)The ultimate question is "WHY?"The ultimate question is "Am I really bored enough with life to ask such questions?"No one knows the question but the answer is forty-two.To calculate the question the earth was built.As the last man (or woman) sees the sun set for the final time and asks "Is that it then, what was the point of that?"
