A quote from an anonymous thinker. "How many Silver-back gorillas would be required, and how long would it take to train 1 of the gorillas to sit at a piano and play Beethoven's 5th Symphony?"

Pretty random but the answer is, of course, one. Okay, you tell a Silverback that you don't blike 2hat he's playing as is doesn't sound like the Fifth.

Forget Beethoven then. How long would it take to train a Silver-back gorilla to learn to play the piano and perform the piano playing tune at the start of Bohemian Rhapsody?Would it be possible?

Same answer surely, unless you are prepared to tell hime he is playing "all the right notes, but in the wrong order" then his rendition is perfect.

Definitely the same answer but what is the answer?

One and a metter of moments.
???????????? Sorry, lost with that one.
Give them enough time...

This is surely an updated version of the old joke- if you sat a monkey down at the piano they would eventually play Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto.

Same old joke, but Neil is trying to use it as logical fallacy to prove there is no such thing as evolution.
Paul Scullion ● 1340d
How much time?
Neil Milkins ● 1340d
That is the whole point of my post. Evolution and evolutionists would assert that given enough time a monkey or a gorilla would eventually be able to play the piano expertly. But that idea is nothing more than a theory.
More than 6,000 years.

>Evolution and evolutionists would assert that given enough time a monkey or a gorilla would eventually be able to play the piano expertly. Yet we're a type of ape and some of us play the piano really well...Nobody is suggesting monkeys or gorillas could except you.
