Let's use our braincells to fix real problems first. Like pants that don't stretch.
I feel like there has to be more to this problem than pure probability. We ought to consider practical nuances like the tendency to randomly mash keys that are closer together rather than assume a uniform distribution.
Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?

I've read there are so many permutations of a standard deck of 52 playing cards, that in all the times decks have been shuffled through history, there's almost no chance any given arrangement has ever been repeated. If we could teach monkeys to shuffle cards I wonder how long it would take them to do it.

I always heard that it was an infinite number of monkeys, not just one. So one of them might get the job done in time.

This is a false flag study to undermine public support for mathematics research!
This sort of study shows you more how mathematicians think than how science or philosophy works.

Really, it just takes an infinite amount of monkeys one time.
Fuuuuck there goes my plan to get this monkey to write Hamlet within the lifetime of the universe...
What if it's a smart monkey?
Of our sample size, 100% of “smart” (capable of symbolic language) monkey species have already written Hamlet.
