    I was always under the belief that multiplication and division were on the same level in the order of operations, so you do them in the order they appear.

        erm, multiplying by the denominator might not be the method approved of in most text books. 6/2*3 = 18/2

            It's an insider joke taken from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy which states the ultimate answer to life, the universe, everything is 42. The problem is, no one knows what the question is.
