No

Deep Thought is some other random planet we don't know.

Earth is a computer that Deep Thought Designed

Deep thought designed earth but is not a planet itself.

No, the Deep Thought is on the Rat's home planet and designed the Earth, sending the Rat's to Earth to live with us. And re read the book. I read it 15 times one summer to make sense of the whole story plot.

Every time I read it I learn something new about the plot; it's a great series of books! That and Red Dwarf (TV show), that British humor gets me lol.

I know, I read the big book with all the series in it 3 times in the past year or so and I still have to go back and re read stuff because of the complexity.

It is easily the best five-book trilogy ever written.

Deep thought is the computer that was designed to answer the ultimate question to life, the universe, and everything. After millions of years, it finally found the answer: 42
After this, the computer we know as planet Earth was created to find the ultimate question to live, the universe, and everything.

 

[Epic Fail]

42 42

Another question, where was the answer to the question revealed? (what planet?) magrathea?

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Yes, Magrathea. Inside the record of the memory that Slartibartfast showed Arthur

The 1st book was far better than the rest. I would say the series dropped off dramatically after it.
