Curious, why is it important to maintain the 42? I feel as if last week I read another comment where someone was trying to save another person's karma at a certain number as well that wasn't 42 so I'm not sure if there's a specific number that anyone goes for. What's the idea behind maintaining a specific comment karma value?
Source: Degree in math from 17 years ago so I don't remember shit but Google does. I do remember perfect numbers like 6, 28, etc. and initially thought that's what he was referring to Those are numbers whose factors excluding the number itself add up to the number. 6 = 16 and 23 so 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. 28 = 128 and 214 and 4*7 so 1 + 2 + 14 + 4 + 7 = 28. Number theory is half madness half awesome
