    if a typewriter has 50 keys
    and the word to be typed is banana (seems like a good word for a monkey)
    and the keys are pressed randomly and independently
    each key has an equal chance of being pressed
    the chance that the first letter typed is a 'b' is 1/50
    the chance that the second letter typed is an 'a' is also 1/50 and so on
    therefore, the chance of the first six letters spelling banana is
    (1/50) × (1/50) × (1/50) × (1/50) × (1/50) × (1/50) = 1/15,625,000,000
    less than one in 15 billion but not zero
    so it is a possible outcome
    however
    it's a thought experiment
    and it proves nothing because proving is not it's purpose

    another possible outcome:
    monkey tires

    BB
    I think monkey tires would make for a very bumpy ride
