It is always the year 42.

Nice idea but a perpetual 42 will cause all sorts of problems mainly for calender printers, you haven't really thought this idea though have you.Don't Panic wrote:It is always the year 42.

42 is definitive, reality is frequently inaccurate.DaveDodo007 wrote:Nice idea but a perpetual 42 will cause all sorts of problems mainly for calender printers, you haven't really thought this idea though have you.Don't Panic wrote:It is always the year 42.
The passage of years will be determined by the angle of the numbers, the 2 being rotated one degree for each year, and after 360 years the 4 being rotated by 1 degree, so that gives a total of (360*360) 1FA40 years before there is a problem.
