Another surprising property of 42. A remark on a paper by P. S. Wang: “Factoring multivariate polynomials over algebraic number fields” [Math. Comp. 30 (1976), no. 134, 324–336; MR0568283 (58 #27887a)]

We give a counterexample to a bound quoted in Wang’s paper on polynomial factorization over algebraic number fields. We also give an alternative to that bound which seems not to have been published before.
