Don't think about this too much more

//Husband age
int hage;
//Wife age
int wage;
Debug.WriteLine("The sum of their age is " + (hage + wage).ToString()+" at the year of marriage in the 18th century");
//The sum of their age is 42 at the year of marriage in the 18th century

Do you see the 42, now you know where it's comming from Wink | ;)

I'm sorry. None of you are being sufficiently cosmic. So, just for the sake of the season:

In Genesis, '6' is the number of man (the day man was created). '7' is the number of God. 6 x 7 = 42, so the answer is god elaborated as man: namely, the little baby Jesus!!!!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Restore backup and all in and working again in less than 10 minutes.

But I have a feeling that it's just the beginning for this week to be honest.

Bah!

I"m sure the clue is quite easy - it's getting the answer that's hard!

Birds: could be a specific type of bird - hens, parrots, whatever? Too many to choose from!
Dance: could be a type of dance or could indicate an anagram - but of what? Too many dances to choose! Jig, twist, waltz...
Cocktails: Not many cocktails of either one word or at least one short word - martini for example leaves only 5 letters for the bird dance bit!
Without me: A cocktail without the letters ME - I can't think of one WITH the letters ME !

Or the answer could be 'Birds' - eg hummingbirds (but obv. not hummingbirds!)

or the whole thing could mean "without me" - what? Isolationist or something like that - but no birds or dances in that!

There is a dance called "canary" which is also a bird - but then birds doesn't make sense.

Nope - getting nowhere slowly!
