Minus' Solution to

Monkey Mumbo
Posted Weeks of June 29 - July 12, 1998

20 monkeys get a word every twenty minutes or 3 per hour per monkey. This equals 48 words per day per monkey, or 960 words a day for all twenty monkeys.

20 monkeys get a word every 50 minutes or 19.2 words per day per monkey. This means 384 words a day for all twenty monkeys.

The monkeys can type 1344 words per day. To get up to 10,000 words it will take 7.44 days of work at 16 hours per day per monkey.
