Toodle-loo from Forty-Two!
 

— Commonly said when he teleports


Forty-Two, or 42, is a Numberblock made of 42 blocks.

Appearance

Forty-Two has 40 light green blocks with green borders and 2 orange blocks. He has blue rectangle eyes with thick blue eyebrows, and a blue mouth with teeth similar to Four or Forty. He has a rainbow teleportation belt with an indigo hexagon buckle that has six dice spots. He has blue limbs, and an array display as he has 8 factors.

In More To Explore, he only appeared as a drawing. He has no eyebrows, and he has a maroon robe with checkers where the blocks go, meant to resemble Arthur Dent from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the franchise that popularized 42 as being "the answer to life, the universe, and everything"). It is unknown if he is wearing the belt underneath the robe. He also has dark blue shorts, which are absent in the final design. He is shown carrying a cup of tea and a towel. Everything else is the same otherwise.

Trivia

Character

  • Forty-Two’s non-physical drawing in More to Explore is most likely based on Arthur Dent from "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", hence the reference "42 is the meaning of life" and David Carling's post.
    • Forty-Two's catchphrase, "Don't panic", is also a reference to the series.
    • During the scene where 42 was drawn out, there were 42 blocks on the screen (two 21’s).
  • Forty-Two doesn’t look exactly like his drawing.
    • Some of the differences are:
      • His physical figured-out form wears a rainbow belt. His drawing wears a brown coat.
      • His physical figured-out form has eyebrows. His drawing doesn't.
    • However, as a similarity, both his physical figured-out form and his drawing have blue facial features and limbs. His main arrangement is also the same as in the drawing.
  • In his drawing, despite being a multiple of 7, he doesn't have any rainbow features. However, after being figured out, he wears a rainbow belt.
  • His drawing was likely teasing how he would look in future appearances. Just like how other Numberblocks first appeared as semi-official drawings, he also ended up closely resembling his, showing only a few changes.
  • Forty-Two is chronologically the second Numberblock introduced in Series 7, since 48 debuted a bit before him.
  • Numerically, he is the first new Numberblock in Series 7.
  • He is one of the 2 Numberblocks to debut in Series 7 and have a front facing image, the other is Fifty-Four.[1]
  • He seems to be best friends with Forty-Eight.
  • His face looks very similar to Forty's, only with blue facial features instead.
  • His digits are the reverse of Twenty-Four's digits. Coincidentally, they both have blue eyes and limbs, eight factors and both numbers are multiples of 6.
  • In Forty-Two’s drawing, he has clothes covering his full body; other Numberblocks have only partial clothes at most such as Eighty's cape or the pocket where Ninety keeps his magic handkerchiefs. However, after being figured out, he only wears his rainbow belt.
  • He is currently the only Numberblock in the 40s to be male, aside from Forty himself.
  • Before the release of Rescue Racers, David Carling announced he would be voice acting in Numberblocks, publicly saying "A couple of fun characters , one is the meaning of life 😉…".
  • He has appeared in 5.4% of Numberblocks episodes, including the crossover episodes.
  • He is the second super rectangle whose main arrangement isn't rectangular. The first is Twenty-Eight, the third is Forty-Five.
  • He is the eighth Numberblock to be the same gender as both their digits after 10, 11, 15, 16, 22, 29, and 30.
  • He has the exact same face style as 40.
  • His 40 blocks are a bit lighter than 40s, like 48s.
  • His front facing image got revealed with 54s (along with more poses for the other S7 characters).
