This very same abstract problem is currently very pertinent, albeit more in the context of Generative Artificial Intelligence and less in that of chimpanzees. Even with this assumption, we clearly demonstrate that the conclusions from the Finite Monkeys Theorem are at odds with those of the more famous Infinite Monkeys Theorem, which are not applicable in our finite universe.
6. Conclusion
Given plausible estimates of the lifespan of the universe and the amount of possible monkey typists available, this still leaves huge orders of magnitude differences between the resources available and those required for non-trivial text generation. As such, we have to conclude that Shakespeare himself inadvertently provided the answer as to whether monkey labour could meaningfully be a replacement for human endeavour as a source of scholarship or creativity.
To quote Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 3, Line 87: “No”.
