As many of you know, The Answer is the solution to Life, The Universe, and Everything. As many of you do not know, the current Answer is wrong. Almost every single nation belives it is 42.
After serious though, DGNT and GLACORP began a joint venture to run the program that came up with The Answer. After much careful debugging, we discovered that the original programing was flawed!
Over fifty lines of code were corrupted, and almost totaly misleading. After this we reran the program, this time it only took five and three quarters minutes, due to not having to acutaly write the program as it went along. The REAL solution to Life, The Universe and Everything is in fact:
'J00 Mama!'.

Scary, aint it? :shock:

How can you say the answer is wrong if the computer created to reveal the question never got the chance to?

Thats the problem, its really hard to verify.
We are considering attempting to reconstruct the computer designed to find the question, though it would be very expensive and require multiple nations to help.

Our engineers have noticed an corrupted data error in the coding that your engineers used. Our coding confirms the answer to, in fact, be '42'.

Our engineers would like to ask why your engineers still use Windows 95. Linux doesnt crash. 8)

After talking to one Arthur Dent, we've discovered that the question to the universe is "What is six times nine?". As such, we've concluded that the Universe is bad at math.

We do not use 'Windoze.' :D

DGNT Scientists hav requested that your scientists recive a nastily worded letter. It goes something like this:
