If the answer is 42 what is the question?
Question: “What is the initial state of the cellular automaton that creates Life, the Universe and Everything?”
Answer: “42″ (42 = 101010 = 0101010 = oxoxoxo)
Unfortunately, this answer does not tell us anything about the rules
of the cellular automaton with the initial state oxoxoxo.
But never mind: Stephen Wolfram and Jürgen Schmidhuber are working on it;)
