it is perhaps worth pointing out that it was an astronomer who pointed out to me that "42" = 6 x 9.......... ....... in base 13!

I love threads like this one. It keeps me humble, since about the only thing I understand is prime numbers, and even that subject is merely a familiarity of the term from math classes of many years ago.
Oh, and 42 jumped out at me, too, because of the Hitchhiker's Guide.
