Forty-Two is a semi-official (possibly official in series 6b) Numberblock who is made of 42 blocks.

Appearance[]

Assumed Figured-Out Form[]

They will appear physically in Series 6. It is unknown what their physical appearance will be, but based on the brief drawing in More To Explore, we assume that they would have cyan rectangle eyes, lips and limbs, as well as features inspired from Arthur Dent.

They would wear a brown and maroon checkerboard dressing gown, as well as holding a green mug of something, and a green towel with an orange stripe.

Trivia[]

  • Forty-Two is most likely based on Arthur Dent from "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", hence the reference "42 is the meaning of life".
  • People are not sure if the figured out design of Forty-Two is real, due to their appearing only as a drawing, or as Forty and Two in other episodes.
  • Pi and Forty-Two are the only characters never to appear in an official episode, despite already having an official supposedly figured-out appearance.
  • Forty-Two is the smallest number between 40-50 to be depicted in figured-out form, although they still haven't appeared "in person" that way. Only two other numbers in the 40s (45 and 49) have had their figured-out forms revealed, as of Series 5.
  • Despite being a multiple of 7, they don't have any rainbow features. This might change later, depending on the producers' plans for Series 6: viewers expect episodes about the 6× and 7× tables, and Forty-Two would appear in both.
    • Most likely, all this is because the drawing of 42 is likely a speculation on how they would look in future appearances. Other Numberblocks who first appeared as semi-official drawings, though, ended up closely resembling those; so Forty-Two's official form is likely to show only a few small changes.
  • Shared with 28, 42 has no eyebrows for a super (duper) rectangle.
  • Their digits are the reverse of Twenty-Four's digits. Coincidentally, they both have blue eyes and limbs, and eight divisors.
  • Forty-Two has clothes covering their full body; other Numberblocks have only partial clothes at most (such as Eighty's cape or the pocket where Ninety keeps their magic handkerchiefs).
  • They are not recognized by Numberblocks' official social media, much like the other Numberblocks that have never appeared "in person".
  • The drawing of Forty-Two is likely inspired by fanmade Numberblocks.
  • David Carling announced he will voice in Numberblocks Series 6, saying "A couple of fun characters , one is the meaning of life 😉…". This most likely means he will be voicing Forty-Two.
    • It’s presumed they will debut in Series 6b, as the first ten episodes are Orange Level 2 and the last five are possibly Yellow Level 3.
