"42" is the answer to "What is the meaning of life?" (at least for earthlings). The mice contracted to have earth built in order to determine what the real question was. However just moments before the conclusion of the experiment popped into Arthur Dent's head ("what is 6 times 7?") his house was destroyed to make way for a bypass. Then moments later the earth was destroyed by a Vogon construction crew to make way for an intergalactic bypass. Or maybe the mice created earth simply to calculate 6 times 7. Am not sure, can't find my Hitchiker books, and haven't been able to find it online.
