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 any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare.
Since it's basically pratically impossible to achieve that, I made a website with some house rules:
1. Any characters between two words will be ignored
2. We will only check for the next word in Shakespeare's work, so if the next word is 'thy', and the monkey magically typed 'hell', it won't count.
3. Every couple characters the monkey typed without hitting a word, we will increase an error tolerance, if the error tolerance is 3, and the current word is 'thee', if the monkey typed 'tahbeke', it will count since removing 'abk' which is 3 characters, we get 'thee'
4. Any user on the website can insert a new character every 30 seconds.
With those rules, maybe, just maybe we get to see the entirety of Shakespeare's work being typed out by the monkey.
