aww no honorable mention for me this time around? shucks.... ;)

I'm afraid I have to contest your bonus answer, SS.

According to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the book about the book, not the book...), one proposed question to the answer to Life, The Universe, And Everything (42) is "How many roads must a man walk down?"

And since we all know the Hitchhiker's Guide is more or less the Bible of Sleuth, I must offer that it is by its nature truth, and that my answer is right, and that makes me a pretty swell guy.

Discuss.
