    42 is the purpose to life because Deep Thought said so. Of course Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect believe the question of life, the universe and everything (because of the scrabble bag experiment) is "What do you get if you multiply six by nine" but that's an entirely different matter.

    Well I looked at it, wrote it all done, thought about it for a hour. Then threw it away. So my question to myself is,"Why did I even try?"

    I would like to say I am smart enough to know what this is all about, But since I haven't a clue and I would like to win that beautiful quarter (Types are my favorite coins), I will just state what comes to my mind while reading this;

    1. The Photogapher is the artist.

    2. Death is the ultiment fear.

    3. True statement - 42 = The why of life.

    4. A CEO.

    5. There are more questions than answers.

    ddoomm1 keep on running

    ok so heres my stream of thoughts ...

    1) Chas Fagan

    2) Alex Calder

    3) The Great Depression and

    4) both you and the painter

    My stream of thoughts.

    1. The artist better start painting if he's gonna become famous. Sketches don't work out so well.
    2. Fear is something we make up. It doesn't really exist. And JFK was a good president.
    3. Because Deep Thought said so.
    4. A wheel behind a wheel is very similar to a song on my latest Buffett album the wheel inside the wheel. Otherwise its just another car part.

    Ok, I was going to post a joke answer, but after thing about it for a minute, I think I have a legit one.

    First we take the last part of the puzzle as the key,

    Then look at the structure of the rest of the puzzle

    Working from bottom to top, you have a question, what is a wheel behind a wheel, another question, Why is 42 the purpose to life, a third question, If all we have to fear is fear itself, what is fear, and a fourth question in the form of a math problem.

    The next statement, if we follow the key should be the answer, but it is another question. However, you will note that before that is says "-this question" so we skip that one and we arrive at the answer of Russia, with another mathish question before that, the final question in the key.

    So, I have to go with "Russia" being the answer to the puzzle.

    Another projected theory of the puzzle's answer is;

    "Ask the unknown, why are there more questions than answers?".

    1. Disregarding the math = (Ask) the question.
    2. Fear = unknow
    3. 42 Why of life = Why
    4. More than one wheel = More
    5. Q & A = More questions than answers.
