That's because 42 is the answer from the book hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and subconsciously could permeate your thoughts. Not because is in 42 years or when you're 42.

Hate to disappoint, but I hadn’t heard of the franchise until 2005, due to the movie. As you might imagine, hearing 42 used in works like that would give me chills.

Nice feedback, still on brand with the answer.
Maybe you're the original hitchhiker.
