42 is the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, according to Douglas Adams, but the ultimate question is still in dispute. Our research finally found a question for which 42 is the answer:

"What percentage of KDnuggets Readers use CRISP-DM as main data mining methodology?"

42% chose CRISP-DM in 2004 KDnuggets Poll on Data Mining Methodology

and again 42% chose CRISP-DM in 2007 KDnuggets Poll on Data Mining Methodology.

Could this be just a coincidence or perhaps data mining methodology plays a role in the ultimate Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything ?
