There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

There are infinitely many possible pairs.

Suppose X is ANY real number in the interval {-sqrt(42), sqrt(42)} and let Y = 42/X.

Then X*Y = X*42/X = 42.

Since the choice of X is arbitrary, there are infinitely many possible values for X. Furthermore, the restricted domain for X ensures that each (X, Y) pair is distinct.

There are, therefore, infinitely many possible answers.
