The answer, you ask?
42.
(But, let's be real, it's actually a bit more complicated than that.)
As a member of the Committee of Conundrums, I'm here to tell you that the answer is not just a number, but a state of mind. It's the sum total of all the confusing, frustrating, and occasionally delightful experiences you've had in life.
So, the answer to the Riddle of Life is not 42, but the number of times you've had to Google "how to fix the toilet" in the past year. It's not 42, but the number of hours you've spent binge-watching cat videos to distract yourself from the existential dread of being alive.
But, if you insist on the number 42, well, that's cool too. We'll just have to schedule an emergency meeting with the Committee of Conundrums to discuss the implications of such a simplistic answer.
