🐒 Infinite Monkey Theorem

×

How it works:

This calculator uses probability theory to estimate how long it would take a monkey typing randomly at 1000 characters per minute to produce your exact text.

Key Assumptions:

• Monkey typing speed: 1000 characters per minute
• Character set: All 149,186 Unicode characters (as of Unicode 15.1)
• Randomness: Truly random typing with equal probability
• Text completion: Includes Enter key to finish

Calculation Method:

1. Probability per attempt: (1/149186)^(text_length + 1)
2. Expected attempts: 1 ÷ probability
3. Time per attempt: (text_length + 1) ÷ 1000 minutes
4. Total expected time: expected_attempts × time_per_attempt

Why So Long?

The exponential nature of probability means each additional character multiplies the difficulty by 149,186, making longer texts virtually impossible to achieve through random typing.
