He believes that the answer lies on the planet Magrathea, only accessible using the Heart of Gold 's improbability drives through trial and error. Zaphod seeks the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything to match the disappointing answer given by the supercomputer Deep Thought: ' 42'. He has stolen the ship along with Tricia 'Trillian' McMillan, an Earth woman whom Arthur had met previously, and Marvin the Paranoid Android, a clinically depressed robot. They find Ford's 'semi-cousin' Zaphod Beeblebrox, the newly elected president of the Galaxy. The pair are shortly discovered and thrown out an airlock, only to be picked up by the starship Heart of Gold.
