In the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy, there is an
incredibly
powerful computer that spends many millenia coming up with the answer to
the
"ultimate question".

The answer it gives is "42", but it's unable to explain its
reasoning.

The same series also makes significant reference to bringing your towel,
hence I'd assumed that it was a Hitchhiker reference.

21 is, of course, half of 42, hence my comment.
