Rick - I was always accused of cheating on my math and science test all through out school. Even in college! All that mumbo jumbo about formulas and theory just makes sense to me. But ask me when the war of 1812 is and I have no idea 😉 History, English, etc... I can't do for the life of me. Guess thats why everyone thought I always cheated.

PENGUIN -

- anxious for the end of the school year?

- you'll be a .... Sophomore next year ... right?

PENGUIN -

- almost forgot -

I would have sent you a Stick for figuring out Base 13 - I don't see that all that much in a response ... however, to get your stick ...

... I'll need a photographed copy of your Driver's License and a Note from your Mother stating that she allows you to smoke cigars ....

- and you'll need to sign a disclosure absolving me completely from suit if you ever develop lung cancer ...

LOL 🙂

... wow -

- quick response ... you must be in Study Hall ...

Actually, I got more work done in study hall than (or then...see, here's my english skills) I do at my desk here at work. If I could just keep off this forum, I would probably get a lot more done 😉

The number '42' (base ten) is equal to '101010' in base two - just an alternating pattern of ones and zeros. Also, as pointed out earlier, 42 (base 13) is equal to 54 (base 10).

Our planet Earth is 42 orders of magnitude (based on powers of ten) larger than the Planck Length (the smallest length that humans have been able to measure - Planck Length is 1 x 10^-35m.).

Consequently, the angle at which light reflects off water and creates rainbows is 42 degrees.

In Chess the maximum number of queens that you can place on the board and still have one "safe" square is 42. e.g.:

e q q q q q q e
e q q q q q e q
e q q q q e q q
e q q q e q q q
e q q e q q q q
e q e q q q q q
e e q q q q q q
s e e e e e e e

q = queen
e = empty
s = safe

To help the males understand this better: A Playtex Wonderbra is made from 42 individual parts; hence, the answer to the Universe.

WOW... you got all that out of a number !?!?!?!?

When I saw the 42, I thought.... Wow... I'm gonna be 42 in 4 years...

LOL @ LOW -

NOT ME LOW - that's all just additional info regarding the #42 from various sources - but it IS all correct ... you could probably find some if not all of the same information on one of the #42 websites like the one pointed out above.

Today

yes

yup....42....today

Happy B-Day Bud !!! Why didn't you say??

Damn, Bud ... if I had the skills, I'd make a Hubcap b'day card especially for you ...

Have a damn good one ... and best wishes for many more to come ... I'll light a good one tonight and blow the smoke in your direction

Sounds like Jimmy made it past 6th grade. I don't recall that, but then again public schools...

Thanks guys....I plan on a good night of drinking and smoking by my new chimenea, even if it's 80 degrees!

good plan ... AND let me suggest that you toss your cigar butts into the chimenea so the whole neighborhood is able to celebrate with you.

happy B-Day Bud!!

Happy B-Day Bud 🙂 Sounds like a good plan to me.
