Magic Square #2: The answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Constructor's Note
Each cell contains a one or two digit number. Enter two digit numbers using the rebus function. Entries for each row, column, and the four 2x2 squares will add to the same value. The title of the puzzle is a hint as to this value. The clues give two or three digit answers which fit in the corresponding two cells. For example an answer of 115 could either fit in the two cells as 1-15 or 11-5. Cells without clues can be solved for using the summing rule. Good luck!
