6x7

Six times seven

The multiplication expression 6x7 equals 42, a fact drilled into schoolchildren learning their times tables.

The number gained cultural significance as "the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything" in Douglas Adams's *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*, making it a touchstone for nerdy humor: The meaning of life? 42.
