The Answer

We often get asked "What does Vertex42 mean?" You can look up vertex in the dictionary. It's a word and it has a v and an x in it - two very cool letters. You may have a hunch that the "42" is not just random. Yes and no. The number definitely has some significance for science fiction fans, and as far as randomness goes, 42 is the sum of all the dots on a pair of dice. Of course, we didn't know about the dice thing when we came up with the name, but it fits given our fascination with Monte Carlo Simulation. The simple fact is that we wanted a number in our name and "the answer" just had to be 42.
