Monkeys
We’ve all heard the line about how an infinite number of monkeys banging away at a keyboard will in the fullness of time produce the complete works of Shakespeare. A group of college students in England decided to put the theory to the test. Infinite monkeys? No, only six. Infinite time? No, only one month.Continue reading “Monkeys”
