Give me a 1! Give me a 9! Give me a 2! Give me a 1! Give me another 1! And give me a 3! Guess what you get?
(1 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 1) * 3 = 42

I've been playing...
19 * 2 + 1 * 1 + 3
19 + 21 - 1 + 3
InvTan 1 + 9 + 2 - 11 - 3
((1 + !sqrt9) * 2 + 1 - 1) * 3
And because the guide reveals that six times nine is also 42
1 * 9 * 2 * 1 * 1 * 3
And in honour of hootoo's sister site
19^2 + 1 + 1 - 3 = 360
