So the question is:
2*21 = ?
or
3*14 = ?
or
6*7 = ?

Which one will it be? I personally like the second one.

Exactly.

No.

Here is the real thing:
(1337*666)/((42-(((42/(((42*42)/(42/(((42*42)/5)/42)))/42))*42)/42))*((42/14)*((((5*(((42/((((42/2)+42)+42*2)/42))*42+42)/42))+42)+42)+42)))

Proof that 42 is evil and leet.

PS. took a long time to make that lol... couldnt get rid of the 5 and others, went into infinite loop/got tired when the numbers grew too much :D

Apologies for my use of "Jesus christ almighty" above. I'd like to take it back.

...and use it here.
Jesus christ almighty.

I wonder what Freud would say about you.
