I'm looking for a variation of the infinite monkey theorem.
I'm thinking of completing a supertask without the infinite time. More precisely, how to illustrate the notice of completing an infinite task over a finite period of time using a logical fallacy.
How to do that?

If you have infinite monkey, you don't need infinite time, nor in the reverse case. You could also just speed things up, and repeat somethign in half the time you took previously (so e.g. type a word in one second, then in half a second, in 1/4th of a second etc; and after two seconds you'll then have typed an infinite number of words).
