I'm sure the 3 and the 7 aren't in the correct order and it's not how they would have looked back in the '60s.
Think I'll make a coffee and sit this one out and see how it goes.
BTW The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything has a numeric solution in Douglas Adams' series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the story, a "simple answer" to The Ultimate Question is requested from the computer Deep Thought—specially built for this purpose. It takes Deep Thought 7½ million years to compute and check the answer which turns out to be 42. Unfortunately, The Ultimate Question itself had long been forgotten.
A shorter answer is 42 which is the sum total of the dots on a pair of dice thereby showing that life is random and a game of chance.
