Douglas Adam's wanted an embarrassing name and started off with a collection of unbroadcastable obsenities then used similar sounding words to create the final name.

Did Slartibartfast really create Norway?
Well, if you believe Douglas Adams in The Hiitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, then of course he did. He couldn't have won the award for designing it if he didn't design it.Second answer: Actually, the award was not for the whole of his Norway work, but only for his outstanding design of the fjords.

Why did Douglas Adams choose 42 in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
This is actually discussed in the extras section of either the tv series or the Hitchhiker's Guide movie, though I'm pretty sure it's the former. Douglass Adams actually sat down with a friend of his trying to come up with what they thought was the funniest number, and ended up deciding said number was 42. Incidentally, this is almost exactly the same method used to come up with Slartibartfast's name. There are 42 Laws to the game of Cricket, which Douglas loved. Could it just be a coincidence? Cricket appears in several forms in the series. 101010 binary = 42 in decimal. Maybe that had something to do with it?

Why do we have to ask questions Why don't you just give us the answers?
The answer to THIS question seems immediately obvious. All of the resources of the internet are available but you have to look for the information you need. How would someone else know you wanted it?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------To quote from episode 5 of the Hitch-Hikers' Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams:"DEEP THOUGHT: Good Evening"ONE: Good Evening...Oh Deep Thought...do you have..."D T: An answer for you? Yes, I have"..."ONE: To Everything? To the great question of Life, the Universe and Everything?"D T: Yes"..."D T: Though I don't think you're going to like it"TWO: Doesn't matter! We must know it!"..."D T: You're really not going to like it."TWO: Tell us!!!!"D T: All right. The Answer to Everything..."TWO: Yes...!"D T; Life, The Universe and Everything..."ONE: Yes...!"D T: Is..."TWO: Yes...!"D T: IS...!"ONE: YES...!"D T: Forty two...It was a tough assignment"ONE/TWO: Forty two!!"D T: I think the problem (such as it was) was...You never actually stated what the question was."So there you have it. Deep Though designed....oops, that was Slartibartfast...We can give you lots of answers, but unless you tell us the question any answer you get is going to be next to worthless...unless you like playing/watching Jeopardy?
Describe the main 5 to 10 events of the plot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy?
Here goes: 1. Planet Earth is demolished to make way for a Hyperspace bypass by the Vogon Constructor Fleet. Arthur Dent and his riend Ford Prefect (who turns out to be an alien from Betelgeuse) narrowly escape by hitching a lift with the Vogons. 2. They are discovered and thrown into the total vacuum of space, only to be picked up by Zaphod Beeblebrox, President of the Galaxy, in the top-secret ship the Heart of Gold (powered by an Infinite Improbability Drive) that he has just stolen. He is accompanied by a girl named Trillian, former Tricia McMillan of Earth, who left with Zaphod after a party where Arthur failed to chat her up. 3. Zaphod explains that he is searching for the lost planet of Magrathea, where planets used to be made before the galactic economy collapsed. They locate it, but are warned off by sinister recorded messages, culminating in two guided missiles being fired at the ship. Luckily, Arthur switches on the Improbability Drive and the missiles are turned into a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias. 4. They land on Magrathea and split up. Ford, Zaphod and Trillian venture into the planet and Arthur is left on the surface with Marvin the Paranoid Android. He meets an old man named Slartibartfast, who takes him to his office and explains that ten million years ago, a computer named Deep Thought was built to find the answer to the question of Life, The Universe and Everything. It found the Answer to be 42, and explained that another computer, called the Earth, would be needed to better understand the Question. Unfortunately, 2 minutes before the 10 million year long program was complete, the Earth was demolished. 5. Arthur is reunited with his comrades and they meet the mice, who were actually the most intelligent beings on Earth and paid for it to be built by the Magratheans. Because Arthur was on the Earth at the precise moment it was destroyed, the mice explain that they want to take his brain and extract the question from it. Understandably, Arthur isn't too happy about this and he and his riends make a run for it. They make their way back to the Heart of Gold and escape, after a gunfight with two space-cops. 6. Zaphod suggests that they get a bite to eat at the Restaurant At The End Of The Universe. THE END Hope that helps - I did it from memory, so there may be a few mistakes.
