Why are there four twos in the date today

Hola Hello Hivers and Hivians

Today is 02/02/2022

That got me thinking, there are 4 2's in the date and reminds me of 42.

One day Arthur Dent discovered that Earth is actually a giant supercomputer, created by another supercomputer called Deep Thought. You can see that I have given this writing some Deep Thought 😁

Now then, Deep Thought was built by its creators to give the answer to the "Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything". After eons and eons of calculations, the answer was found!

The answer to the "Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything" is 42.

That is awesome, but what is the question?

Deep Thought was then instructed to design the Earth supercomputer to determine what the Question actually is. However Earth was destroyed by the Vogons just before Deep Thought had finished its calculations. So we don't actually know the question, but we do know the answer is 42.

Of course, this is all from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams written in 1979.

It does get you thinking though. I mean how often do you actually have something or a solution floating around your head and you don't know why!

Is 42 really the answer? Here are some bits of proof!

42 is the number of galactic years that the Sun-Earth system will survive before it’s destroyed.

Rainbows always emerge offset at an angle of 42° relative to the light source that creates them.

The world’s first printed book (The Gutenberg Bible) has 42 lines per page.

In Egyptian mythology, there are 42 questions asked of persons making their journey through Death.

But surely the biggest proof of all .....

On page 42 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry discovers he is a wizard.

I rest my case!
