Dammit. I'd conflated two stories in my head. Or imagined one entirely. There's a similar story to the The Last Question (and it's not "The Last Answer") In this story, the question was more "meaning of life" and the computer has the answer but those asking were incapable of understanding it. I seem to remember similar back and forth over time but that might be me getting mixed up between the two stories. And no - I don't think it's Douglas Adams related.
