Number of women? Try to elaborate (5-3)
I believe the answer is:
forty-two
'number' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'of women? try to elaborate' is the wordplay.
'women?' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'elaborate' indicates anagramming the letters (an elaborate version of the letters).
'of'+'w'+'try'+'to'='ofwtryto'
'ofwtryto' anagrammed gives 'FORTY-TWO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forty-two that I've seen before include "Three fourteens" , "Douglas Adams' numerical Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything" , "The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)" .)
