Hello, I need help to get number 42 as a result of some number combination.
It is a combination of birthday dates: 27 01 1984, 18 09 1995 and 25 12 2018, those are the dates. Is it possible to make some combination of those numbers to get 42 as a result?

Thank you soooo much, for a help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you...

I mean is it possible to get 42 as a result of some combination from those dates by adding, subtracting, multiplying, etc.
For example (27 x 9) - 1 + 18 + (1995 : 12) - 1984 = 42 or like ((18 + 27) x (9 + 1) x 95) : 84 = 42 (this is just example, I know it is totally wrong
:)
)

I would really appreciate if someone can come up with something that will make 42 as a result.

Thank you very much and sorry for me being kinda stupid.
 
I'm guessing that this is not supposed to mean anything, really (such as someone's age) but just as some sort of creative puzzle, like making the number 24 from a few random numbers using the four operations. It might help if you explain the reason for it.

Apparently you aren't required to use all nine numbers; would it be acceptable to do things like concatenating two numbers or taking a square root? (Not that I have such an answer.)

Maybe 42 is a nod to the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, in which:
"The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42"

Anyhow, I obtained some options by splitting the years up into two numbers...

Code: 
27 * 01 * 19+84  -  18 + 09 + 19+95  -  25 * 12 - 20*18
27 * 01 * 19-84  -  18 + 09 + 19-95  -  25 * 12 - 20+18
27 * 01 + 19*84  -  18 + 09 - 19*95  -  25 + 12 * 20+18
27 * 01 - 19+84  -  18 + 09 * 19+95  -  25 * 12 + 20-18
27 * 01 - 19-84  -  18 + 09 * 19-95  -  25 * 12 + 20*18
27 + 01 * 19*84  -  18 + 09 - 19*95  -  25 + 12 * 20+18
27 + 01 - 19+84  -  18 - 09 * 19-95  -  25 + 12 * 20+18
27 - 01 * 19+84  -  18 + 09 * 19+95  -  25 * 12 + 20-18
27 - 01 * 19-84  -  18 + 09 * 19-95  -  25 * 12 + 20*18
27 - 01 + 19+84  -  18 * 09 + 19+95  -  25 - 12 - 20+18
27 - 01 + 19+84  -  18 - 09 * 19-95  -  25 + 12 * 20-18

With my tongue firmly planted in my cheek - I was going to write:

"Since the universal answer is 42 - any combination of any number would do...."

But then I could not find an emoji for that...
 
I just found one that works without splitting the 4 digit years:-

25-12+2018 * 18/09-1995 - 27-01-1984

I had to swap the order of the dates for this to work.
