    I'm 16 so I presume I must be the youngest on here? I do have to admit I'm probably the youngest 'commuter' I've seen around.

    well, apart from the fact that bigger preponderences are in their 30s and 40s!
    Us older fellahs have started arriving home from a hard day in the office, probably. That'll be it.

    What was the question?

    What do you get if you multiply six by nine? (Or "How old are you?") ;)

    You must be a tax accountant

    It's a Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference. Well, actually, Restaurant at the End of the Universe as far as the books are concerned. You know, the bit where Arthur pulls letters out of a bag to try and extract The Ultimate Question from his brainwave patterns, and gets the phrase "What do you get if you multiply six by nine."

    "Six by nine. Forty two."
    "That's it. That's all there is."
    "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe."
    Wasn’t it 54 in Arthur’s brain and 42 in the caveman’s brain? The caveman couldn’t spell ‘library’, but pulled out FORTY TWO from the Scrabble bag.

    The Golgafrinchans displaced the indigenous Earth people, so Arthur was not descended from Earth.

    42 was the answer (same as me) and the question was, "what do you get if you multiply 9 x 6"

    I too am the answer to the question, seem to be a few at that age. I like to tell people I'm 2 years off being 40, and hope they don't realise it's 2 years past 40.

    Except that's not quite true. The bell curve is a little skimpy in the middle. Family business?

    52 and still commuting 12 miles each way 5 days a week. 8) Just off to the local woods to play in the snow on the MTB, so I think my mental age got stuck somewhere in my mid twenties :lol:
