  5. " Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
    "I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

    Great book!

    1. I hadn't remembered it was a radio show. I discovered it in the 70s with the 4th Doctor.
