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.
if you have infinite monkeys but not infinite typewriters, you're also going to be rate limited
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
