Ah, the legendary question about life, the universe, and everything! The reason the number 42 is humorously considered the "meaning of life" stems from Douglas Adams' science fiction series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." In the story, a group of hyper-intelligent beings build a supercomputer named Deep Thought to calculate the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. After much anticipation (7.5 million years, to be exact), the answer is revealed to be... 42.

The hilarity is that while the answer is given, the actual Ultimate Question is not known. So, we're left with a cosmic joke where the answer is known, but the question isn't—so very much like searching for the perfect Wi-Fi signal.
