Neat example
Though while I like this Entry, and this Entry is good, personally I sometimes like bad Entries too. Like this one: A68555

Ah, but good and bad is a matter of personal preference, and I think A68555 is good as well.

42 was the answer to wrong question
The wrong question was not the right question
So the answer to the right question will not be 42

I hate it when the computer eats my posts. What I meant to say was:
Ah, but there's not a one-to-one correspondence between answers and questions, so the answer to the wrong question could also be the answer to the right question. 
Thanks for the comments, everyone. 
I'm glad you enjoyed the entry!
