...a question which required Deep Thought to design a successor so
powerful that organic life itself forms part of its operational
matrix. This successor (the most powerful computer in all of
time and space) was designed by the planet builders at Magrathea,
and was called "The Earth"

Unfortunately, moments before the point (nine million
years later) when it was to provide the Ultimate Question it
was demolished by the Vogons to make way for a hyperspace
bypass. The mice were furious.

Cheers
Martin
