Talk:42 (TV story)

Should we make an article on the Sun-Possessed? Even though there are only two, it plays a fairly large part in the plotOOM-10 17:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

The article Torajii or Possession takes care of that. The evil dudeArnie 17:28, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok just suggesting :) OOM-10 19:20, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Happy Primes
I think it's worth mentioning that the happy Prime sequence is rather non-obvious. After all the Numbers 313 331 367 could be part of the much easier sequence 313 (313)+18 (313+18)+2*18 making the next number ((313+18)+2*18)+3*18=421. So it was a rather lucky guess by the doctor 129.13.72.197 23:42, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Happier Primes
Actually, it's worse than that, and I'm not entirely sure why this little riddle hasn't stirred up further controversy. Since the interior order of the digits in a happy number has no particular relevance except in a logical succession of finite happy numbers, the sequence should have easily been 313, 331, 367, 376. That The Doctor made a leap to 379 rather than stop at 376 is patently insane, even if it does also happen to be a happy prime. Either Tennant read the script wrong or the script writer screwed up, obviously. Blast Vortex 21:32, June 24 2017


 * Happy though 376 may be, it is not prime. I think we should trust the Doctor on this. Amorkuz ☎  17:18, June 25, 2017 (UTC)
