Do you know how difficult it is to calculate repeated Bernoulli trials with extremely large numbers?

No. And please spare me the details; I'm not qualified to handle it. But I wish you well with your work!

So, you really want to know? Good, then I'll tell you. The numbers got so large I had to stop calculating and start approximating. Eventually I just gave up and went to a bunch of monkeys typing a Shakespeare poem. The numbers are much easier to handle.

Ever wondered why the original statement used monkeys?
