Except Arthur Dent wasn’t descended from the original hominids of Earth, but rather the useless humans who came from another planet, so the question was corrupted in his mind.

I mean the entirety of the planet earth is supposed to calculate that. Would you expect a stick of RAM to be able to do what a complete computer can?
