Within that finite set, one combination is the complete text of Hamlet.
I honestly don't think so, bestie. Monkey's not gonna press the keys randomly at all. Somewhere in the recesses of his monkey neurons he'll have made implicit connections between letters and letter combinations. This is the infinite typewriter monkey, not some two-bit organ grinder's bitch. This monkey has been places, probably been through hell getting to this position in life. Seen wars, been across the globe, and now he's the star of a famous thought experiment. He loves lowercase t because he's a devout Christian after having been rescued by that missionary, and being a monkey he doesn't quite grasp the distinction. Wanna see what he wrote? tttt hhdfyb my ik t tkkoptt aa aaaa Bernardo : Who's there? tt ttt eeertyuhjk t
