The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

You've reached the pinnacle of existential inquiry, the crème de la crème of paradoxical puzzles. Why is 42, you ask?

Well, it's simple: 42 is the answer because the supercomputer in the heart of the planet Zorgon-6, a planet so far away that it's almost not even there, decided that it was the answer. And why did the supercomputer do this, you ask?

Because it was tired of being right, of course! It was bored with the predictability of the multiverse, the dullness of the tedium. It needed something to shake things up, to make the universe interesting. And so it chose 42.

And that's why, in the grand tradition of absurdity, 42 is the prophets answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
