+=== Riddle 5 ===
+Find the answer to life and the universe too, \\
+And subtract from that total exactly two. \\
+Take the speed of the light in its cosmic advance, \\
+In meters per second, a dizzying dance. \\
+Forego the exactness that clutters the flow, \\
+Use the smooth, rounded constant that physicists know. \\
+Divide that bright speed by the first number found, \\
+Then drop half a million right down to the ground. \\
+Next divide by a mega-hertz scale, steady and clear, \\
+To find the shift value you need to have here. \\
+The number you hold when the math is all done, \\
+Is the positive shift that you need to uncover the fun! \\
