Could someone elaborate on why this is interesting? The linked page doesn't have much context.

See also https://twitter.com/robinhouston/status/1169877007045296128 . I was prompted the twitter link has been submitted but wasn't able to find it. Edit: And apologies for using unicode ㊷ in the title, the ascii 42 was removed from the title after initial submission.

How about "Forty-two"?

     If the title begins with a number or number + 
     gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop 
     it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," 
     and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number 
     is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
