We will probably never find out, as the computer that was to give us the "Ultimate Question" (aka The Earth) was destroyed by the Vogons in order to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Actually this is typical of Douglas Adams humor, He enjoyed making the meaningless seem meaningful. Ponder the most meaningless answer you can think of to the question "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything." 42. There you go, there's your answer, now what are you gonna do with it? Funny.
