infinite monkey theorem

“If there are as many monkeys as there are particles in the observable universe (1080), and each types 1,000 keystrokes per second for 100 times the life of the universe (1020 seconds), the probability of the monkeys replicating even a short book is nearly zero.” (via wikipedia)

yes, but how many would it take, and how long, to create an index of the book i’m co-authoring? since it’s not replication i assume it would be quicker. who wants to test this for me?
