Really infinite
Okay what happened to all the Monkeys trying to prove the mathematical Chess theories? I guess they're eating Banana Pie and enjoying the vacation from infinity.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as a perfectly precise calculation of a limit--that violates the entire concept of the term. A limit is a value which a function trends towards until it is infinitely close, but never quite reaches, hence the infinity part, i.e., the function gets infinitesimally close. You can arbitrarily just 'give up' and pick a practical number yes, but that doesn't take away the infinity part of it.
In calculus, a limit is a real number. It is precise.

If they weren't real numbers people wouldn't be able to touch the wall.

Someone threw a banana into the mix....
There isn't a monkey on earth that can't stop what he is doing to shove a banana in his mouth.

When, in your case, time is irrelevent! I think you would agree that you have nothing to waste?
Hoping things improve.

An infinate number of monkeys given an infinate amount of time could create an infinate amount of things.
I estimate it would take 10,000,000 monkeys roughly 10,000 years to create the immortal game in chess.
However it would probably take 100,000,000,000,000 monkeys 1,000,000 years to creat a light saber
Infinity takes all thinks to positive/negative perfection, a well-known and well-established mathematical point.

I wonder, Teary, do you also object to the use of pi?
The actual pi used in practical mathematical operations is just an approximation of the "real" pi with some 10^-x accuracy, ie rounded to the xth decimal digit.

Is that like one of those lifestyle stories?

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.

Said perfect. In fact, there are no monkeys. there are only "winning" & "losing" players. And you can easily change your title to oposite
Okay this is about an infinite amount of monkeys playing chess to achieve the perfect game of chess and they have an infinite amount of time to do it. An infinite amount of monkeys would take up the entire amount of infinite space. Then there would be infinity divided by 2 of chess boards to accommodate all the games being played. Then you have infinity divided by say 6 for the judges required to determine if any of the games are the perfect game. The end result is infinity is not large enough accommodate such a feat if the monkeys already hog up infinity in the first place.
Oh yeah, what about all the Porta Potties required for this event and the trucks and drivers to service an infinite amount of dung?

Infinity is not a number and you can not perform mathematical operations on infinity. I refer you to Hilbert's paradox of the grand hotel:
http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_paradox_of_the_Grand_Hotel
I know you can't preform mathematical calculations on infinity, I was trying to make this whole idea of "Infinite Monkeys" look ridiculous.
Of course it's ridiculous. We are talking about an infinite number of monkeys playing chess.
Okay I should have put "look more ridiculous".
I'll use evolution as a example. Darwin said the that life started in some warm, little pool (I think some scientists think it started in the ocean but anyway). I remember hearing some mathematician calculate the chances of all the right amino acids to form in the right order. It was something like 10 to the power of 1000!
Point 1. Where would all the monkeys fit + chess boards?
Point 2. Would they have been taught, and by who?
Point3. You need intelligences to create something, or should we just sit back, relax, and let the money create itself and ship its self to the electric company.
Point 4. Wouldn't the major part of the monkeys just play around hooting in space, not to mention getting killed
.
Point 5. (I'll split this into two parts) Part 1. Lets say the monkeys could live forever. So tell me if I am wrong, but does it seem that your chess skills decline as you get older? Part 2. lets say they would give birth. Would the Dad monkeys teach the baby monkeys? It seems just as likly that a infinte amout of monkeys could beat Anand.
*om nom nom* Now what were we talking about again? Something to do with delicious pies? >_>
