Hi Argon0
Congrats on the SODUKU 42 - brilliant
Please add me to the list with 3+1+3+2+(8*5)-7. (calculated with a genuine 10gHz Intel pencil)
As for Krikkit's Computer?
3132857 run through it says Sorry - No Forty Two
Wassup Computer? Valves gone black? Still mourning the death of Alan Turing?
BTW as a complete newbie what's all this about 6*9 (or even 9*6). Am I missing something and/or is this very old ground?

6 x 9 = 42 is from the 2nd H2 book where Arthur and Ford are trying to teach the "cavemen" Scrabble. They draw random letters and hope that they can find the Question this way. The text "what do you get if you multiply six by nine" comes out.
Sounds unfamiliar? 
find your 
and have a 
or 
or maybe a nice relaxing 
perhaps?

Got it. Thanks. I can now brief my lawyers and sue Kent CC Education for the emotional damage caused by misleading me into thinking 6*9 always = 54 all my life.

It's unbelievable what They (the proverbial, anonymous, and utterly sinister "they") can do to people. 
Go get them, and if you win, can you please give me the phone number to your lawyers? I've got a few scores of my own to settle.
