weird question
??. Please some one explain me the problem
I cann't bear so weird question! why 42?
42 is the ultimate answer to life,universe and everything.--- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy!
I wish there is a "dislike" opinion.
Very good.
That's nice! Btw I dont understand how to get less then 13.
Honestly, I solved it only because it kept reappearing on my list.
In the spirit of troublemaking: I think the solution should accept text input, e.g. "forty-two"
Really weird question!
good
42. do not add zero after 2
good
good one
gooodyy
Is it necessary to know about "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" to solve this problem or it has a different logic behind the solution?
If it doesn't have a different logic, I have to say it was a boring problem.
classic
Amazing!

This user (mohamed elbesealy) appears to have gamed the system, with fraudulent "likes" of this unremarkable solution submitted by 'sock-puppet' accounts. —DIV

Why 42?
You need to read the book, or at least watch the movie to get it.
