Between them thay may find !! moves.

Originally posted by Sicilian SmaugIf you give the monkeys long enough they will become bi-pedal and perhaps create a game resembling chess, but with diffrent rules. The pieces will most likly be called chessmonkeys. there will be cookies with chessmonkeys on them that may be dipped in milk. This might take longer that a million years. Maybe if all of RHP got on to a spaceship it could happen. But i make no gaurentee that we wont end up in cages trying to play monkeychess and them contemplating if we could even make it through a whole game using only legal moves.
A thousand old Kasparovs made to type on a typewriter for a few decades may eventually start typing like monkeys.
