"Woe is me," cried Esmerelda. "The final math exam is in 2 hours, and I haven't done any studying.

"It's a good thing I have an intuitive grasp of topology, morphology, archeology, and gollygee.

"I just hope I'm up-to-date on my baka-ology. 'cause Cirno-sensei's questions can be pretty tough ... even knowing that the answer's almost always zero or nine."

Now at school the teacher handed out our exams.

But Cirno had forgotten to write any questions on them!

The test was over but Cirno had not finished.

If only he had remembered that the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.

The 42 answer had been discovered by a Ukrainian midget who had 2 club feet and could only count to 42.
