In one of the subsequent books in the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, it is implied that the question, to which 42 is the answer, is "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" It has been noted that six times nine equals 42 in base 13, while in the decimal system, the answer is 54. Douglas Adams denied that he was aware of this alternate solution when he wrote the book. He stated, "I may be a pretty sad case, but I don't write jokes in base 13!"
The last page of Mostly Harmless, another book of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, reveals the true significance of 42 when Ford Prefect arrives at Stavromula Beta: '"Just there, number forty-two," shouted Ford Prefect to the taxi driver. "Right here!"'. Since the answer 42 was revealed in the first book of the series, and Mostly Harmless is the fifth book of the series, this may very well be the world's longest published joke. However, viewing two events five books apart as a single joke may very well require an attention span as long as Douglas Adams had.
