Woke up to use the [RR](restroom). Under meds, back to bed.
Happy Hunting
Works of Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll, who was a mathematician, made repeated use of this number in his writings.
Examples of Carroll's use of 42:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has 42 illustrations.
Alice's attempts at multiplication (chapter two of Alice in Wonderland) work if one uses base 18 to write the first answer, and increases the base by threes to 21, 24, etc. (the answers working up to 4 × 12 = "19" in base 39), but "breaks" precisely when one attempts the answer to 4 × 13 in base 42, leading Alice to declare "oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate!"
Rule Forty-two in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ("All persons more than a mile high to leave the court").
Rule 42 of the Code in the preface to The Hunting of the Snark ("No one shall speak to the Man at the Helm").
In "fit the first" of The Hunting of the Snark the Baker had "forty-two boxes, all carefully packed, With his name painted clearly on each."
The White Queen announces her age as "one hundred and one, five months and a day", which—if the best possible date is assumed for the action of Through the Looking-Glass (e.g., a date is chosen such that the rollover from February to March is excluded from what would otherwise be an imprecise measurement of "five months and a day")—gives a total of 37,044 days.
If the Red Queen, as part of the same chess set, is regarded as the same age, their combined age is 74,088 days, or 42 × 42 × 42.
My head now hurts. I am also trying to figure out the number of people in a photo, but I might have to try again in the morning.
