>You have X amount of immortal monkeys. You sit them in front of a type writer and they begin to type at random. They do this for an infinite amount of time. Is it guaranteed that they will eventually type the bible?

There is only one right answer.

infinity isn't a number, using notational tricks to exceed the character limit is akin to evading word filters, which is against the rules.

>they

What do you mean by they? How can a group reproduce the bible?

A monkey within the group may reproduce the Bible.

Which in turn is probably less likely than picking words that the group type and arranging them into the bible.

So I don't know what you mean by they.

Also if they were not immortal monkeys.. But a society of monkeys that 9-5 on typewriters. Would there be more of a chance?

In the end, would the monkeys rebel against the typewriters and write a book that they could actually understand?

No, also the premise of time making all things possible (if "theoretically" possible) is not science

No, probability doesn't account for constraints.
