"There is no problem
" said Deep Thought with magnificent ringing tones. "I am simply the second greatest puter in the Universe of Space and Time."

Contemptuous lights flashed across the puter's console.
"I spare not a single unit of thought on these cyberic simpletons!" he boomed. "I Speak of none but the puter that is to e after me!" Fook was losing patience. He pushed his notebook aside and muttered
"I think this is getting needlessly messianic."
"You know nothing of future time
" pronounced Deep Thought
"and yet in my teeming circuitry I can navigate the infinite delta streams of future probability and see that there must one day e a puter whose merest operational parameters I am not worthy to calculate
but which it will be my fate eventually to design."

"Can we get on and ask the question?" he said.

"the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us ..." he paused
"... the Answer!"
"The answer?" said Deep Thought. "The answer to what?"
"Life!" urged Fook.
