Sorry to be pedantic, but wouldn't this be the correct line:

cat mum (making faces): that means 6 7 is the ~~answer to the~~ ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

42 is the answer

If 6x7=42 than 6x7 is also the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. According to my math teacher at least

Now let's prove that 7x6 is also the answer to the ultimate question.

Sorry to also be pedantic but, mathematically speaking, 42 is equal to 6×7, so they are essentially the same thing said in different terms.
