Solved: sum that adds up to a big zero
by Patrick Foster
March 19, 2007
Professor Adams believes it may help to explain some problems facing physicists. "Amazingly, E8 comes up in physics — in string theory. Some physicists believe that plays a fundamental role in explaining the theory of matter. It may be that some day this calculation can help physicists to understand the universe." ...In the end a supercomputer, Sage, at the University of Washington, took 77 hours to compute the answer.
...and the answer was '42'. Hey, someone was bound to say it.

If one can't get a date, one should think creatively . . . more power to you, Prof. Vogan.
