"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.

So, you didn't miss anything concrete; it's more of a playful and satirical interpretation of the quest for meaning.
