Published on March 18, 2009 by

And here I am, revealing the answer* in flaming characters, shortly before blowing them out:

205

Incidentally, my tee-shirt has a picture of a galaxy, with the words “You are here” pointing to a spot far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm.

*For those unfamiliar with the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the answer to the great question of life, the universe and everything is 42.

    Congratulations Eric! As you know, 42 is also a special number in ABC’s LOST!

    Let me add my belated congrats. Then again, given how long the answer was coming, perhaps I am in good time, or even early. ;) Happy Birthday!
