Infinite Monkey Theorem

Mathematicians have called into question the old adage that a monkey typing randomly at a keyboard for long enough would eventually produce the complete works of Shakespeare.

I never thought of that adage as a theorem. But wasn't it a million monkeys-million typewriters-million years? Not just 1 monkey?

And they use a picture of a chimp in the article? :biglol:

To broaden out the experiment, the Australian mathematicians turned to chimpanzees, the closest relative of humans. There are currently about 200,000 chimps on Earth, and the study presumed this population would remain stable until the end of time.

I guess the mathematicians don't know chimpanzees are great apes, as humans are. And it only took humans ~200,000 years to come up with the works of Shakespeare, no typewriter needed.
