Dedicated to Douglas Adams, the author of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” very popular not only among sci-fi but also with computer enthusiasts. In the novel we all learn that the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything” turns out to be 42. The super computer “Deep Thought” specially built for this purpose needed seven and a half million years to find the answer. Unfortunately, the ultimate question itself is unknown.
