help with number 42

[Rusted Iron]

I guess I didn't have enough to do before packing up and setting up so I thought of another feature for our camp. It has to do with the wonderful number 42.

I need about thirty different computations or equations that each equal 42. I can come up with some simple ones but it would be good to have a few that are more complex. That is to say, more complex than my brain can come up with.

Lady S's Boutique thanks you, in advance.

Did you graduate high school?

(x+12) - Sqr Root(x) = 42
The atomic number of molybdenum.
The angle rounded to whole degrees for which a rainbow appears (the critical angle).
1 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/7 + 1/42
The first few values of the partition function are (starting with p(0)=1): 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 30, 42....
•Two physical constants in the universe are the speed of light and the diameter of a proton. It takes light 10 to the minus 42nd power seconds to cross the diameter of a proton.
•The sum of the ordinal alphabetic positions of the initials (SPG) for Stan (P.) Gibilisco, an oft-published science and technology writer, is equal to 42 (S=19, P=16, G=7).
•A barrel holds 42 gallons.
A base-13 number 42, therefore, is the same as four 13s plus 2, or decimal 54. So "six by nine" (six times nine) or decimal 54 is, in base 13, 42.
For the mystically inclined, 42 in base 13 is the same as 101010 in binary (base 2).
42-42+42=42
1 x 42, 2 x 21, 3 x 14, 6 x 7, 41 + 1, 43 - 1.
56 minus 14 equals 42 and 28 plus 14 equals 42
42 cm = (42 / 2.54) = 16.54 inches (rounded)
42 inches = 106.68 centimeters
Cosmic horizon = 42-billion light-years away

You're missing at least one. Read all the books again.

I'm looking for my slide-rule right now.

[Ugly Dougly]

It's teh length of "Bob"'s cock.

[ygmir]

It's teh length of "Bob"'s cock.

from the ground?

[theCryptofishist]

It's the oldest rule in the book.

[JovReef]

The answer = 42

[Ugly Dougly]

It is conjectured to be the scaling factor in the leading order term of the "sixth moment of the Riemann zeta function".

[DustHand]

We all know the answer...it's the QUESTION we need....

did you remember your towel?

[pink]

DON'T PANIC!!!!!

Or should this be in the anxiety thread?

[mgb327]

It is always number 42. This issue was settled years ago in the Selmo vs. Peterasky Federal Case in June of 1958.

[Rusted Iron]

Yes, Dusthand, it is the question we will be providing. Questions, that is.

[DustHand]

Do they have to be computations?

how about:

Lessons in Love

Running in the Family
might be better suited for this event...

The reservation size for a couple going out on a dinner date = 4 2

[Fufa]

Too bad we don't have a powerful enough computer to come up with the ultimate question..

[Canoe]

Ask the frogs.


p.s.
light refracts off water by 42 degrees to create a rainbow
so you can stand watching and be cheering "42"!!!

[TomServo]

420 divided by 10 dirty fucking hippies = 42

The dolphins and mice are smarter than they appear.

[Fufa]

The dolphins and mice are smarter than they appear.

...smarter than they appear to us.

Hence why we are only the third smartest species on Earth.

[FIGJAM]

42= number of rebar stakes to hold your tent down this year.
