the question was not which number you like the best it’s which number is the most aesthetically pleasing. unless all the hitchhiker’s guide fans also think 42 is the most aesthetically pleasing number of the bunch, they have all failed to understand the question and clearly do not understand the secret of the universe or whatever

in a way that gives pleasure through beauty.

i would hope the meaning of the universe is both pleasurable and beautiful

but arguably it is the most aesthetically pleasing once you understand it encapsulates the whole universe
that is a beauty you can’t have with another number

42 is also a neat number.
7 comes second.

11 is cool, and a lot of multiples of 9 are really cool too.

i like 0 second most i think
it encapsulates a lot of interesting theories and is often misunderstood by others

actually 0 means the same thing as -0, but +0 is ontologically distinct (opinion that apparently at least one tumblr user has)
