In the movie, according to the supercomputer Deep Thought, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything is 42. When asked what the answer meant Deep Thought replied that in order to understand the answer you first had to ask the right question. Unfortunately, no one has ever figured out what the question was.

*"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" was a BBC radio series (which began in 1978), a book series by Douglas Adams (which began in 1979) and a motion picture (2005). "Life, the Universe, and Everything" was published in 1982, and the 2003 radio production featured a posthumous cameo appearance by Douglas Adams (1952-2001).
The meaning of life is 42. The ultimate question is 'What do you get if you multiply six by nine?' which IS 42 in base 13. The ultimate question is also 'What is total paradise?' which was interpreted as 'What is the total of a pair of dice' which is, if you care to check, 42.
