Counting the stones in Wales is just the type of example of task that gods always seem to be assigned in old mythology. At least, that's what I understood it to mean. More of a good joke than a confusing plot point.

I meant when kate asked him how many stones there were at the end.

I believe that was just the continuation of the joke from earlier.
Then again, it's been a while since I've read that book. I may be missing some crucial plot points.

I like the hitchhikers guide computer game that douglas adams wrote the script for I've heard all these great things about the famicom text game, but never actually played it. In a similar vein, does anyone have 'Starship Titanic' the computer game? I was actually thinking of buying it. Amazon's selling it for $1.88!

Adams actually had three computer games that I know of. - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Bureaucracy - Starship Titanic
Bureaucracy is my favorite. It's about a guy trying to get his bank to acknowlege a change of address form. It's maddeningly funny.

Awsome! Does it play the same as the Famicom game? (Thanks for the Ressurection Quamp)
I do want to pick up Starship Titanic, but I don't know if my computer would even run it.

Bureaucracy plays the same as Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. It was released in 1985 or thereabouts.
Starship Titanic is different. It was his last work to be released while he was alive (in 1998.) I've only seen screenshots of the game.
Looking over his IMDB bio, I learned something new about him: He was once an extra in Monty Python's Flying Circus. Ironically, in Starship Titanic, two of the voices are provided by John Cleese and Terry Jones.

Oh yeah, I even have a novelization written by Terry Jones about the starship titanic. You can definitely tell that it's a different author, but it does have sort of a 'Hitchhiker's' universe feel to it.
