Description

The Infinite Monkey Theorem is a probabilistic thought experiment that suggests if a monkey randomly hits keys on a typewriter for an infinite amount of time, it will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. Essentially, it illustrates the concept that even with a random process, given enough time, any possible outcome can occur. The theorem serves as a metaphor in discussions on probability and randomness, emphasizing the power and limits of infinite sequences in generating structured outcomes.

With an infinite amount of time a team of monkeys could write Shakespeare. My writings, one monkey in three minuets.
