Chapter 14 Summary

Everyone but Arthur has trouble sleeping that night. Trillian taps on Zaphod's door and tells him she thinks she has found the thing they came to this part of the Universe (the Horsehead Nebula) to discover. They go to the bridge, where Ford wanders in and finds them a few minutes later. Zaphod and Trillian show him a planet on the computer screen. Ford is uncomprehending, so Zaphod tells him, "That is the most improbable planet that ever existed."
