Nearly all stars have planets and most planets have moons. The odd's of there being life elsewhere in the Universe are significantly higher than most stupid probability models. The odd's of there being intelligent life elsewhere are also high. We know that we are in a younger part of the galaxy and an even younger part of the Universe. For a living specie we are significantly new in comparison to the age of our planet and other species on our own planet.
Odd's are, the more highly advanced and technologically capable species out there that have been around for millions of years longer than us have already met each other. They probably have a scale that shows how far along a species should be in order to catch up with them. Considering the timescale and duration of things across the Universe their scale will show that we are brand new babies and we aint sh1t. They have no reason to come here or mess with us. We have no resources that they would ever need. We are not special in the eyes of aliens and we are probably not even worth an elementary school level experiment to them.
They probably know what the question for 42 is.
