It's unlikely to have ever happened.
2^42 is 25 times the total number of people ever born in all of history.
...i think it's quite a bit more than that
I had to check the math and I was surprised that 2^42 is “only” 4.4 trillion. Thought it would be a lot greater like there are less atoms in the universe similar to the uniqueness of a shuffled deck of cards.
