1. Get a infinite number of monkeys into a room

2. Give it one of these problems.

You forgot step 2.5. Find the scrap of paper with the correct proof on it among the infinite scraps of paper without the correct proof on it.

Then there's 2.7 -> Wait for 139 decades until they sift throught the infinite number of papers and find the correct piece of scrap with the solution.

Also, 2.8 -> Hope the prize is corrected for inflation.
