Jelly. What is the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? (not 42!)

No. Gosh, and I was worried that I might make the riddle too easy. Another bonus verse, so let's hope there are enough clues here. Original: Bonus verse 1: Bonus verse 2: Also, recall this guess that I thought was close:

This made me laugh so much. It made me want to point out SpaceSphereOfDeath's signature: Gilly. Is. POTATO

Yes. No.

Well, the point was to count, not simply post a larger number. 146 = A( √(!4), 4 ) +4! + √(!4) Edit: should be shown as 146 = A( √(!4), 4 ) +4! - √(!4) (the wolframalpha link is correct with the minus)

No; nothing so violent. Here's the original: And a bonus verse:

I'm planning to make a go at this. Regarding rule 3 "No changing of direction allowed (no flight inputs)", does this simply mean that I can't use most of my keyboard, aka no QEWASD,X,HNJKLI,T? Also, I'm assuming that joysticks shouldn't be allowed. I think I'll make a Minmus landing with keys 1-9, spacebar, and an initial pressing of shift to throttle up.

ALT + < and ALT + >? (note, don't hit the shift key) That should get you physics warp, which should make that happen (I think).

145 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + Γ(Γ(4)) / Γ(4)

Well, the last two guesses are still wrong. Keep guessing. Also, as an additional hint, this is restricted to human technology created during the last, say, 70 years or so.

143 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + Γ(4) * √(!4)

I live in the US: Imperial is the only system I have an intuitive sense with. My temperature is in Fahrenheit (close to 0 degrees today), driving distance is in miles, my height in feet and inches. However, metric is the only one that is convenient in any kind of science/engineering problem, except if its all relative. For example, psi (or some variant like kilopound per square inch) is fine in a mechanics problem, because most everything there is just proportions. However, in a thermodynamics problem, Imperial is distasteful, and doesn't make sense to me. So, Imperial for life, Metric for engineering.

I don't know if it has life, but Take On Mars might be worth a look.

I seem to have deleted my 139, so here it is with 141. Bed is soon here, too. 139 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + Γ(4) + 4!! 141 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + 4!! + 4!! And Amram's 140 seems to have disappeared, so: 140 = Γ(Γ(4)) + 4!! + Γ(4) + Γ(4) And I am done for today.

139 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + Γ(4) + 4!!

Well, about 30 numbers in about 3 hours. Vexx should stop by more often. 137 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + Γ(4) + Γ(4)

135 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + 4 + Γ(4)

133 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + 4 + 4

131 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + √4 + 4

129 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + √4 + √4

127 = A( √(!4), 4 ) + 4 / √4

125 = A( √(!4), √(!4) ) * √4 + √(!4)

123 = Γ(4)!! + Γ(4)!! + 4! + √(!4)

121 = Γ(4)!! + Γ(4)!! + 4! + !(√4)

But I haven't, I swear. 119 = Γ(4)!! + Γ(4)!! + 4! - !(√4)
