A “hyperintelligent pandimensional being” who works as a programmer on a long-running project to find an answer to “Life, the Universe and Everything.” Lunkwill and his colleague Fook are the two programmers chosen to turn on Deep Thought, a supercomputer designed to provide them with the answer they seek. Like Fook, Lunkwill is overjoyed when Deep Thought indicates that there is, in fact, an answer to “Life, the Universe and Everything.” However, he’s deeply disappointed to hear that it will take the computer 7,500,000 years to arrive at this answer.
