Life

The first quantity, followed by "the Universe and Everything" of the equation.
The result of the equation, "Life, the Universe and Everything", is 42. Does anyone have the foggiest notion what arithmetical operations to perform on the quantities?

Pluto

An excuse for a whole bunch of astronomers to argue a lot and author new or updated books about Astronomy.
Q: How many planets are there?

A1: This week, last week, or next week?

A2: Nine; we've known that for years. No, other Pluto-like objects are planets too, so there are twelve. No, Pluto-like objects are not planets, so there are only eight.

Afterthought: Mercury isn't much bigger; can't we disqualify it too?
