"The theory is that if you had an infinite number of monkeys typing at random"
See, there is an infinite number of monkeys, and he is right, in that it would only take as long as it takes a monkey to type enough characters to be shakespere.
However, on another subject, can the shakespeare be in the middle of gibberish. Or does the monkey have to stop typing eventually? or can it be:
fjkjdfjdsk
<the entire hamlet script>
fjkjdsljdsk
(of course that question would only matter if there were a finite number of monkeys>
However, back to my question as to when do the monkeys STOP typing?
Does each monkey just keep going?
If we learned anything from Alan Turing it was that determining whether or not a monkey would ever stop typing is a problem for which there is no general solution ;)
Well, it could be "kjasdad to be or not to be asdadad", but not "to sdsdsds be or sasdad not asdasd to asdaere be".
Does each monkey just keep going?
You need to figure that the monkeys have an unlimited supply of Jolt Cola, Penguin mints and do not sleep. Hey, that is sounding strangely familiar to my life!
