What's with 7942 being lit up like the North Star?

There are a couple other curious ones like that, too.

Are you sure that's not 7931 you're looking at?

7931 are the four corners, so it'd be an easy pattern.

Yes the bright one I mean is very easily at or around 40. 31 is rather far away.

Only thing I can think of is that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was published in 1979.

That actually might be it. And it fits the theme of 42 well.
