I searched it, it made very little sense to me

. I guess if I don't read the book I'll never get it. 42 is just a plain ordinary number that is bad when it comes to deck size

. And didn't Douglas Adams say:
"The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do.' I typed it out. End of story."
That means there's nothing awesome about the number, it's just a plain random number, am I not correct?
