It is the answer! It is the answer to life, the universe and everything!
Look at everything, not in base 13, but just with a clear eye and you will find it. Can’t you see it?
It is simple, Clear as water. easy as abc, 123.
(In my entire life, I only met one guy who knows just I do, that is why I’m not going to tell it.)
Reading the Holy Bible might help you a little bit, specially the Gospel according to Matthew and the Revelation, the part of the number of the beast. Have you noticed that 6*6+6 = 42??

think literature:
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
The answer to the universe is 42.
Only problem is, no one knows what the question is.

this is my thought:
x6
9
—
42

or (6)Six n (9)Nine is (4)for (2)two

or a 69 is for 2

thanks but the author of the book specifically said that he did not use base 13 or any other tricks; he just pulled it out of thin air and said that”42 is a nice number, it is a kind of number that you can take home to meet your parents”.

Just use base as 13
