What is the funniest question you can ask whose answer is 42?<|im_end|>

How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh? 42! Ha ha ha! I know, I know, it's a bit silly, but that's the kind of humor you get when you let an AI like me off the leash!<|im_end|>

Can you make up a similar question that doesn't reference Douglas Adams' work at all?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
What is one two-digit number that can be written with three tens? The answer is '42', which when written in binary is '101010'.
Here is another one: What is a number which can also represent the wildcard for everything? The answer is '42', which when converted to ASCII, is the asterisk.<|im_end|>

Haha okay. Let me try again. How about this: the funniest question you can ask about 42 is "What is an answer that everybody knows that nobody knows the right question for?"<|im_end|>
