42 would have been statistically the most likely answer among the original humans of earth, until our planet got overrun with telehone sanitizers, public relations executives and management consultants.
A well-known mentalism “trick” from David Blaine was when he’d ask someone to “Name a two digit number from 1 to 50; make each digit an odd digit, but use different digits”, and his guess would be 37. There are only eight values that work {13, 15, 17, 19, 31, 35, 37, 39}, and 37 was the most common number people would choose. Of course, he’d only put the clips of people choosing 37. (He’d mix it up by asking for a number between 50 and 100, even digits, different digits, and the go-to number was 68 iirc.)
Son of a bitch, you are right!
I got 42, I was disappointed
I did too. Maybe that one is #3 most common
I’m here for LLM’s responding that 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything, just because enough people said the same.

now the funny thing? Go find a study on the same question among humans. It’s also 47.
It’s 37 actually. There was a video from Veritasium about it not that long ago.

That’s how the AI ended up with the same answer. They don’t make up their own answers you know, they’re copying things humans said.
It’s almost like that is exactly what KillingTime said two parent comments ago…
