>>the answer ti life the universe and everything is 42, apparently the question is: What is the arithmetic factor in the asymptotics of the third moment of the Riemann zeta-function? In more detail: If you integrate the nth power of the absolute value of the Riemann zeta function on the the critical line between heights -T and T and divide by 2T, you will get a sort of nth moment on average. Random matrix theory predicts the growth of this function to be asymptotic to a "geometric factor" (coming from an integral over the unitary group) times the n^2 power of the logarithm of T. It turned out that the random matrix theory prediction is off by an "arithmetic" factor, so that the correct asymptotics is "a(n)g(n) (log T)^(n^2)" where g(n) is the geometric factor from above and a(n) is a rational number. The article is about the prediction a(3)=42. Go here for more http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/2006/03/prime_numbers_get_hitched.php?utm_source=seedmag-main=rss

>>also, I tried to rewatch Congo the other night just to see if it really was that bad... and yes, it was absolute trash. However I think there is a film that IS WORSE: "Boa vs Python" - you will not believe how bad this is.
