Comments:

khlae writes:: The question for the ultimate answer is indeed 6x9 not 6x7 as many people are inclined to think. The only catch is to get the correct answer you must do your math in base 13 and not base 10.; 14 of 17 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

Supernite writes:: It's not, I believe, in base ten as we are. So, 6 x 9 = 42 in base thirteen. Ask the internet about that one. And I have no idea what pCalc2 is.; 3 of 4 people found this comment helpful. Did you?

John Bowers writes:: But we learn in "Mostly Harmless" that the Ultimate Question is "What do you get when you multiply six by NINE." Fourty-two. Hm.; 4 of 9 people found this comment helpful. Did you?
