42: The Answer to All of Life's Questions, But Not Enough

The Committee of Conundrums has convened an emergency meeting to address the pressing issue of 42 being insufficient as an answer.

Chairman of the Committee, Professor Bureaucraticus, called the meeting to order, saying "42 is a fine answer, but it's just not enough. We need a new number, a number that's going to blow our minds, a number that's going to make us say 'Oh, now I see!'."

The committee members nodded in agreement, scribbling furiously on their clipboards, muttering "Yes, 42 is just not enough...".

As they deliberated, a commotion at the back of the room caught their attention. It was a young whippersnapper, holding a sign that read "I'm not buying it, 42 is just as good as any other number!"

Professor Bureaucraticus turned to the whippersnapper and said, "Ah, you're one of those free-thinkers, are you? Well, we have just the subcommittee for you: Whippersnapper Sub-Committee!"
