 Opposable thumbs.  Evolve those and maybe, just maybe.

Amount is the wrong word to use. "Amount" is for nonmeasurable things, "number of" is for measurable things like monkeys (even when there is infinity of them).

The smart money is on pigeons.

The monkeys would understand the concept of our game if we changed the king piece symbol into a banana

I think more accurately, "number of" is genereally for quantized things that can generally only be counted in integers.  Amount is generally for more fluid quantities that are divisible into much smaller fractions of the unit of measure.  That said, the line between them is not so strict.

Well, not all infinities are equivalent, so conceivably every number could appear an infinite number of times.

But honestly, this is like saying that if you entered an infinite number of fat people in the Iron Man Triathlon, then one of them would eventually win. But that is wrong! None of them would win, because they'll always be too out of shape, no matter how many fat people you throw into the contest!

Just because you have an infinite number of something, that doesn't guarentee that anything productive will get accomplished!


In at least one of those infinite Iron Man Triathlons all the fast, healthy people would be struck and killed by falling whales and potted petunias.

Shouldn't the "fat people" be treated with the same courtesy and respect as othe.... ummmm...Oh, never mind.

Exactly what and idiot would say. Funny how people may be better than others in a particular area and slag at others by name calling as though they were bullied all their lives for being nerds.

You may not no this waffle....... but chess is just a game. Try achieving a similar level in every other field known.

Your self proclaimed awareness skill level, is no more than a child playing a game who also believes that everyone are monkeys (as you describe), because they can't beat him/her in Playsation.

You would actually be funny if you weren't so obviously pathetic.

Yours sincerely,

some players surely was beaten by another players and the losers hasn't support the defeat and said that monkeys can find 4 moves mate, but they can, really, really, find if the king is made by chocolate or banana.

That would make the king the "Top Banana".  He's the one that started at the bottom of the bunch. (rim shot) Laughing I just couldn't resist!

A monkey could become chess world champion given an infinite number of opportunities to play - he or she would have to win eventually.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INFINITY! Not even in your imagination. I dont know why we have such a stupid word.

Einstein once said: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."

But he was WRONG! (i know the quote is probably a joke) Give me a proof that anything is infinite. 


 What's the biggest natural number? 1,2,3,4..... what number is at the end of that sequence?
