| 42 Puzzle |
The 42 Puzzle is a game devised by Douglas Adams in 1994 for his popular The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. In the books, 42 is known as The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything that Deep Thought, a sophisticated computer constructed by pandimensional beings, returns (after seven-and-a-half million years of calculating). Referencing this, he created a puzzle whose question was unknown, but whose answer is already known to be 42. (references) |

| British Rail Class 42 |
Each locomotive was powered by two Maybach 1035hp (D800-802) or 1135hp (D803-829, D831-832 and D866-870) MD650 engines coupled to Mekydro hydraulic transmissions. The lower engine rating in the first three was because the first batch of transmissions could not accept more than this; a shortcoming swiftly rectified although the technology of the time limited hydraulic transmissions to below 2000hp input, hence the need for two engines. D830 Majestic was equipped with two Paxman YJXL Ventura engines rated at 1200hp each as a potential showcase of an alternative British engine which might prove superior to the German Maybach. The new locomotives were substantially lighter than previous diesel-electric designs: a Class 44 "Peak" locomotive weighed 138 tons and required 8 axles to carry it; the D800s weighed less than 80 tons and only needed 4 axles. D800-802 were produced as a pilot order and differed slightly both mechanically and cosmetically from the others. Aside from the obvious differences of disc versus rollerblind headcodes and the slightly less powerful engines, D800-802 were only equipped with six power controller notches, which was found to be unsatisfactory for smooth acceleration and economical running in operational use. These differences meant D800-802 were effectively a separate sub-class and could not work in multiple with the others (although the "white triangle" code multiple working capability of the Warships was rarely used until the late 1960s, and was removed from many locomotives as a constant source of electrical problems). In 1960 British Rail introduced the Class 43 diesel hydraulic locomotives with a maximum tractive effort of 53,400 pounds. These were constructed by North British Locomotives, numbered in the range D833 to D865 and also bore names. Although of a very similar design to the Swindon-built examples, the 43s were equipped with MAN engines and Voith hydraulic transmissions at the same power rating as the Swindon locomotives. The Maybach engines were a more sophisticated design with advanced features such as oil-cooled pistons that the MAN design lacked. The German V200 class, upon which the D800 design was based, used MAN and Maybach engines coupled to Mekydro and Voith transmissions in roughly equal proportions with engines and transmissions being completely interchangeable. Thus one locomotive might have one MAN engine coupled to a Mekydro transmission and a Maybach coupled to a Voith. This interchangeability of engines and transmissions was theoretically a feature of the BR design as well but was never exploited. Detail differences in the floor construction after the first few Swindon production locomotives removed the ability to exchange transmissions. (references) |
| Dakota County CSAH 42 |
CSAH 42, usually called County Road 42, is a primary arterial highway in Dakota and Scott Counties of southeastern Minnesota. These two counties form the southernmost portion of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, although CSAH 42 runs across the northern reaches of the two counties. CSAH 42's easternmost terminus is in Hastings, Minnesota in Dakota County, when it meets U.S. Highway 61. Its westernmost terminus is just southeast of Shakopee, Minnesota in Scott County, where it intersects CSAH 18. (references) |

| No. 42 Squadron RNZAF |
42 Squadron of the RNZAF was formed at Rongotai (Wellington) in December 1943 to provide a communications service around the country. It was officially disbanded in 1946, but its aircraft continued with general purpose operations at RNZAF Station Ohakea (near Bulls). When reformed, the squadron was equipped with Harvards, Austers, Avengers, Oxfords, Devons and P51 Mustangs. (references) |
| Oregon Highway 42 |
Oregon Highway 42 is an Oregon state highway which runs between U.S. Highway 101 on the Oregon Coast, near Coos Bay, and Green, a few miles south of Roseburg on Interstate 5. It is known as the Coos Bay-Roseburg Highway. At Coquille, there is a split in the route, as Oregon Highway 42S heads southwest toward Bandon. The largest towns on the route are Winston, Coquille, Myrtle Point, and Green (which is actually unincorporated). Highway 42 serves as the southernmost link between the Oregon Coast and the Interstate 5 corridor. (references) |

| Tower 42 |
Tower 42 is a skyscraper in London, the tallest in the City of London, at 25 Old Broad Street. It was originally built for the National Westminster Bank, hence its older name, the NatWest Tower. Seen from above, the Tower closely resembles the NatWest logo (three chevrons in a hexagonal arrangement). The tower, designed by Richard Seifert, was built between 1971 and 1979, and opened in 1980, costing a total of £72 million. (references) |
| Type 42 destroyer |
Type 42, also known as the Sheffield class, is a class of destroyers of the Royal Navy. The class was designed in the late 1960s to provide area air defence. In total fourteen vessels were constructed in three batches, eleven of which remain in service. In addition, two ships were also built to the same specifications as the Batch 1 vessels for the Armada Republica Argentina. The ships, with the Type 23 frigates, today form the backbone of the Royal Navy surface fleet. Sheffield and Coventry were lost in the Falklands War due to enemy action. (references) |
