RE: sources for hidden and useful hints for testin OT: analysis of 42 years

Here is my derivation of 42 years:

A nominal work year is 2000 hours. (40*50).

So 42 of those work years is 84000 hours.

In an average year there are about 8766 hours.

For practical purposes of measuring experience on the calendar, anything
over 10 years is immaterial.

So, given that Tom eats, sleeps, and dreams Oracle he had an excess of 366
hours over the last ten calendar years to have 42 years of experience. That
leaves over 36 hours a year for things so distracting that even Tom isn't
thinking about Oracle.

Oh, alright, then. But it's more than 42 months, for sure!
