Good.   Seqfans,

The meaning is Obviously?
'Time, Times, and the dividing of Time.'
42 months, the answer to life the Universe and everything.
*3 +1/2 years

the string 242424242 was found at the position 242421
after the decimal point of pi.   2424 is the name of our Lord

Is there a better explanation?   Below...

                                           *3      *1/2.        *2./don.

hence sequence  4* 3^n.
= 4  12 36  108.
