Can I safely say then that this is THE END?

On the other hand, I think I'll just say (safely) that this is THE END.

Is it not an expression of general bemusement with life, the universe and everything? the ultimate question in fact, with acknowledgement to the late and much lamented Douglas Adams

No, tsuwm, you miscomprehendify me. I know bugger-all about bugger-all, but The Guide I do know. So, I simply posted to correct an incorrect statement. The question I posted is the only one mentioned in the context of The Answer in any of the Guide series.The whole point of that series after all is that, to quote Prak:

"I'm afraid," he said at last, "that the Question and the Answer
are mutually exclusive. Knowledge of one logically precludes knowledge of the other.
It is impossible that both can ever be known about the same universe."
