42 is an extremely non-special number. Does anyone know if it appeared in the CS field before Douglas Addams "invented" it?

What do you mean, non-special? 42 is the magic constant of the smallest non-trivial magic cube.
It’s also an integer. Who ch I pretty special when you consider that most numbers in nature are real.
I have yet to see a number in nature.
