[Spoilah Alert!] Searching For "The Answer" Achievement

[Arnstein]

As soon as I saw the answer, I did what you had to do to get it(not gonna spoil it). It says that 0% have done this. Am I the first?

No, it means not even 0.1% of everyone who have bought the game have done that.

I was the first (excluding Dan).

Not necessarily.

BTW guys, I added this achievement to the Wikipedia article on 42, which is the same one that shows up in game. To see it, just look at "Cultural References".

OK, that was pretty wierd...

To receive the achievement, you must type 4, and 2. You can do this straight after start up, or click on a new simulation, and then do it. The on the menu to the right, a page with TONS of info all about the number 42, its means, and the book The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe

6*9 is also 42 in base 13 (tridecimal).

That's what he already said:

Hmmm, well, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, it gave the question to the answer to life, the universe and everything as like 6 x 9 = 42. That can only work in base 13 though.

Missed that sentence.

I found it! just hold 4 and 2 in an empty simulation!

Could the answer be God? It's possible because you know, religious people signify God to be the creator of everything, or "The Answer". Name something God???

Did anyone try going through the dictionary and typing each word 42 times?

I tried... 42 years went by and I think I lost 42 GBs on my computer. I only got like 42 hrs of sleep a week and I almost lost track 42 times. No one try this ever.
