Description : [SCP-042 appears to be a white sheet of plan printer paper with "42" in bold black print in the center of the paper. The paper shows no anomalies until a person attempts to read the paper they must be within five feet of SCP-042 if they read it through a camera or video it will only say "42". Once a person within five feet of SCP-042 starts reading SCP-042 they will read anywhere for 5 to 75 minutes and will not stop reading unless threatened, harmed or killed and will ignore all other disturbances. Once a person has finished reading scp-42 they will look up from the paper and say a variation of "it all makes sense". they well then try to explain what they read to any person near them however the logic they use to explain what they read is impossible to truly understand. However it is believed to contain a universal theory of everything explaining all fundamental laws and SCPs. Personal who read SCP-042 show an increased IQ and massive increase in problem solving capabilities however their communication skills have decreased due to the change in logic. Other people have a hard time grasping concepts they grasp easily and viese versai. These properties do not fade over time. However if a high strength anamnestic is used it is possible to force a person to forget SCP-042 and all anyomilese properties then seace.
