In the film, events are quite different. In all of the previous versions of the story, the creation of Deep Thought and the discovery of the Ultimate Answer were shown to Arthur by Slartibartfast via Sens-O-Tape which allows the beholder to experience the events with all senses , but in the film it was Zaphod Beeblebrox who played a recording of the events instead.
In the film, only two of the 'brightest and best' created Deep Thought, and those same two, who are never named, were both the ones to address Deep Thought and, seven and a half million years later, to hear the Ultimate Answer. The sequence is cut down quite a bit, and in the film adaptation the two who created Deep Thought and heard the Answer are implied to be young girls, whereas in all previous versions they were implied to be two men.
There have been many theories from fans in an attempt to explain why the number 42 was chosen, and what secret meaning it may hold. Douglas Adams revealed the reason why he chose forty-two in this message. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one.
Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do'". After calculating for 7. Deep Thought does know, though, that another supercomputer, known as Earth, was to be designed by Deep Thought himself to come up with the question in million years.
In Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy we learn that the answer to everything is It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one.
Binary representations, base 13, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. Sutherland, whose specialty includes massively parallel computations, broke the record in for the largest Compute Engine cluster , with , cores on Preemptible Virtual Machines , the largest known high-performance computing cluster to run in the public cloud.
Booker and Sutherland discussed the algorithmic strategy to be used in the search for a solution to Otherwise, the main difference between the search for 33 and the search for 42 would be the size of the search and the computer platform used.
The computation on each PC runs in the background so the owner can still use their PC for other tasks. They ran a number of computations at a lower capacity to test both their code and the Charity Engine network. They then used a number of optimizations and adaptations to make the code better suited for a massively distributed computation, compared to a computation run on a single supercomputer, says Sutherland. Using the Charity Engine network is also more energy-efficient.
As a result, the carbon footprint of this computation — related to the electricity our computations caused the PCs in the network to use above and beyond what they would have used, in any case — is lower than it would have been if we had used a supercomputer. Sutherland and Booker ran the computations over several months, but the final successful run was completed in just a few weeks.
Booker and Sutherland say there are 10 more numbers, from , left to be solved, with the next number being But both are more interested in a simpler but computationally more challenging puzzle: whether there are more answers for the sum of three cubes for 3.
Likewise, four 14, 24, etc. The youngest president of the United States,Theodore Roosevelt, was 42 when he was elected. The atomic bomb that devastated Nagasaki, Japan, contained the destructive power of 42 million sticks of dynamite. And on the same page of Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein reveals he is able to create life. In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence gives Juliet a potion that allows for her to be in a death-like coma for "two and forty hours".
The result of the most famous game in English football — the world cup final of — was The type 42 vacuum tube was one of the most popular audio output amplifiers of the s. Samuel Johnson compiled the Dictionary of the English Language, regarded as one of the greatest works of scholarship. In a nine-year period he defined a total of 42, words.
The wonder horse Nijinsky was 42 months old in when he became the last horse to win the English Triple Crown: the Derby; the Guineas and the St Leger. The element molybdenum has the atomic number 42 and is also the 42nd most common element in the universe.
