er, no, buying something with counterfeit bills is illegal and you can go to prison. giving out false information to a private citizen is not. of course, if by 'the same as' you mean 'is different from', then i agree completely. s
Woohoo. First post. And it's on a nitpicky lit/math point, nice. The point of the '6x9=42' was, i thought, that the message (the Ultimate Question) had been 'garbled in transmission'by its passage through Arthur's DNA; thus, it was wrong. 6x7=42, after all. Ford Prefect says something to that effect. I think all the hooha over base 13 and binary is interesting, but.
