ReplyDeleteOn the subject of 42; this number has been bandied about in relation to the Kids Company charity controversy in Britain:

"Overall, the NAO reports, Kids Company was given at least £42 million ($64 million) in grants by the government,"

"The money used to prop up the charity had an impact elsewhere: in 2008, it received 20 per cent of all the grant funding available from the DfE – leaving the rest to be split among 42 other charities."
