Looks like this project is now obsolete! Monkeys don’t have enough time to write Shakespeare, math confirms The universe would end long before chimpanzees could randomly reproduce Shakespeare's works. However, according to a new study, that would take an incredibly long time to happen — far longer than the expected lifespan of the universe. In other words, it’s basically impossible for a monkey to actually type out Shakespeare’s works by mere random keystrokes. ![]() ![]() |

Well, let's hope, that this will lead to better use of this project, I don't see the infinite monkey theorem as something for a NCI BOINC project, that's actually a "simple" math problem and the probabilities can be calculated for any amount of monkeys and time. ![]() |
