"So once you do know what the question actually is,

Chapter 28 of Book 1 of
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
A Trilogy In Four Parts",
written by Douglas Adams,

Two things Bret:-
1. Your sig de-limiter is broke (should be dash dash space), otherwise I
could not have quoted it here, and,
2. Hitchhiker's guide is actually a trilogy in five parts.
The citation is correct.
The edition was
"published in 1992 by Pan Books
an imprint of Pan MacMillan Ltd
Pan MacMillan, 20 New Wharf Road, London N1 9RR
Basingstoke and Oxford
...
ISBN 0 330 31611 7".
The front cover is a picture of a bathroom wall, with a Philishave (?)
(three-headed) electric shaver on a glass shelf, on the left, on the
right hand end of the glass shelf, is a digital watch, above that, is a
glass hanging on the wall, containg three toothbrushes, and between the
electricity supply socket ito which the electric shaver is plugged, and
the glass hanging on the wall, is a mirror, containing an image of the
Vogon bulldozer, oriented in the direction of travel from the top right
corner of the mirror, to the bottom left corner of the mirror. The wall
tiles are coloured darkish blue.
See http://www.sfbok.se/asp/artikel.asp?VolumeID=24535 , for an
illustration of the cover of the book.
And, the cited quote is from the topmost paragraph on page 129 of the
cited book. It is the second sentence of the paragraph.
The first sentence of that paragraph, is
" 'Exactly!' said Deep Thought".
