42 what???

In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the answer to the most important question about everything in the universe is 42. The only question is: What was that question?

Now I can easily turn this into a more comedic thing by saying the question was "how many ways can you use a towel?" or "at what age will one start going bald?" or "how many times in a day do the dolphins think the thought that humans are stupid?".

The more likely question has a more meaningful purpose. For example, the question "what age does one fully understand life and the universe?" is a more logical question that would have the answer of 42 than the comedic ones stated earlier. I believe this is the question that the supercomputer computed when it was asked to give the answer to the most important question of all time. I think this because we all at one point in our lives try to understand the meaning of life and everything and strive to figure it out throughtout the years. Age 42 is likely to be the time that we no longer need to search for the answer. We will have experienced a lot by age 42 and have seen a lot by age 42 and will have come to understand a lot by the age of 42.
