3.875 X 2.75 inches Moulin du Roy 90 lb HP w/c paper graphite/watercolor pencils/water-soluble wax pastels
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
Ez-Lx another possible outcome: monkey tires
BB I think monkey tires would make for a very bumpy ride
