	Infinite Monkey Theorem - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		The infinite monkey theorem was the WCMC response to unemployment among the monkey community.
		The theorem, offering jobs to all monkeys until the end of time, was designed to reduce this unemployment, on account of its employment of all monkeys.
		The infinite monkey theorem was put in practice by Plymouth University in England, who placed a typewriter in a monkey enclosure containing 5 monkeys at the local zoo.

	Infinite monkey theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Given an infinite sequence of such infinite strings, where each character of each string is chosen uniformly at random, any given finite string surely occurs as a prefix of one of these infinite strings (and indeed, as a prefix of infinitely many of these strings in the sequence).
		The theorem is an instance of Kolmogorov's zero-one law.

		The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type or create a particular chosen text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.
		Given an infinite string where each character is chosen uniformly at random, any given finite string almost surely (with probability 1) occurs as a substring at some position (and indeed, infinitely many positions).
		Given an infinite sequence of such infinite strings, where each character of each string is chosen uniformly at random, any given finite string almost surely occurs as a prefix of one of these infinite strings (and indeed, as a prefix of infinitely many of these strings in the sequence).

		The number of monkeys doubles every few days, which doubles the speed at which they can produce pages - so come back now and again to see how they are getting on and to put your own monkeys to work.
		The starting point for this project is 1 July 2003, when there were 100 monkeys, and the increase in population (which is independent of whether or not any simulators are running) is continuously updated.
		For the sake of the simulation, it is assumed that the monkeys have special typewriters where there are separate keys for upper case letters and lower-case letters, where the space bar is the same size as the other keys, and where all the keys that are not used in Shakespeare's plays are removed.
