    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. Give me a search query and I will get you the results.

            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?

    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?

      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.
