Unfortunately the rule is to keep your digits in the original order. So your solution would work for the user no. 202036.
How about
2+36+0!+0!+2 = 42
(Just by the way: Try to cut and paste "2+36+0!+0!+2" into the Google search machine, they have added a nice calculating feature ...)

If you don't like factorials, there's
(2/3)*(60+0)+2 => 42

Welcome BeauBrummie...
I particularly liked Potholer's version...
Consider yourself 42ed, and clear BB a space at the DoQuaDecahedric table...
