You stupid monkey!
Incoherent monkey screams
Statistically, there's the same probability of a monkey outputting this text than the original.
An infinite number of monkeys would create it immediately
No, since every monkey would take a while to finish one book. Even if infinite monkeys would do it at thr same time.
And, if we digg deeper, even infinitly many monkeys could fail in one go, if infinitly many would write the same book and only finitely many another, then they could create only shit books. And as this could happen almost every time, you'd better have an infinite amount of time as well.
Na, you just need to find the range of monkeys that each wrote one character of the book on the first keystroke. It's infinity, as long as the monkeys are random, it's out there somewhere.
Excellent
If an infinite number of monkeys handed you an infinite number of books, how would you figure out which one is the one you are looking for?
Don't ask me why I know that but when you really put a monkey in one room with a typewriter, the monkey will look at it, type one letter repeatedly and leave. No Shakespeare play, no nothing. I'm sorry to disillusion you.
This is what Elon really had in mind when he bought Twitter.
And all the remaining monkeys have really only written a book that reads like mien kampf, but has more to do with throwing poop at one another than anything.
Okay! I have simulated a monkey typing for an eternity, and I have the entire text. It contains an answer to all questions that can be answered using the letters, numbers and symbols on a typewriter!

Thank you for using HYPERWEBSTER™ services!
Seriously, what were you expecting?
The actual answer is Math.round(Math.PI**2,-21), which equals 0, and in fact, the monkey did write
The square of pie (rounded at the sextillions place) is 0.
Maybe you weren't looking deep enough?

Ig ik how harry potter was written
A lot of it was directly lifted from a 1980s fantasy movie called Troll, including the child wizard orphan actually named Harry Potter.
