"John! John! John!" Rodney yelled as he ran down the hallway seeing John in the distance.
"What?" Sheppard snapped and turned to look at him."What? What? What? See it's really annoying when people repeat things over and over and over again."
"Look at this," Rodney said pushing paper at him full of numbers that made no sense to him.
"What is it?" John asked feeling like a parent looking at a kindergartners picture. He didn't want to upset him, but he didn't understand it in the least.
"Remember that time when I got super smart, I mean ever smarter than I am now."
"How can I forget," John said rolling his eyes.
"I don't know what any of this means," he said circling his hand at the mass of numbers and letters that made no sense to John, "But look at what it equals."
John looked down at the number circled in red. "Fourty-Two? So what?"
"Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy? Answer to The Universe, Life and Everything? Douglas Adams? Ringing a bell at all?"
"Oh wait, you made me watch that horrible British movie about nothing with a lot of Brit jokes?" he asked half remembering it.
"Yes. Yes. That movie. The answer to life is forty-two, but they don't know the question and when I was super smart I got the same answer."
"So what does it mean? What's the ultimate question?"

Rodney shook his head. "I still have no idea."
