    Do you know the logic behind this pic? Why Google throws "42" as the answer?

    Haven't you read the famous The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams?

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    In the book there's this magnificent computer which searches the answer to that question. The answer is 42. From the Wikipedia article:
    In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (published in 1979), the characters visit the legendary planet Magrathea, home to the now-collapsed planet-building industry, and meet Slartibartfast, a planetary coastline designer who was responsible for the fjords of Norway. Through archival recordings, he relates the story of a race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who built a computer named Deep Thought to calculate the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. When the answer was revealed to be 42, Deep Thought explained that the answer was incomprehensible because the beings didn't know what they were asking. It went on to predict that another computer, more powerful than itself would be made and designed by it to calculate the question for the answer. (Later on, referencing this, Adams would create the 42 Puzzle, a puzzle which could be approached in multiple ways, all yielding the answer 42.)

    What's so bad is that they are all texting each other
    Actually, they are texting others. they "hang out" together, but don't talk to each other, they stare at their phones
