In the limit of N --> infinity.  If N is a finite number then the works are 
not forced to appear, by saying N is infinite you are forcing them to 
appear.  Just think of "infinite" to mean "repeat until it does appear". 
Saying "it might never appear" is not a valid argument, because an infinite 
list of random sequences does not have a concept of "never", there are 
always infinitely more sequences to come no matter how many you go through.

...unless N is allowed to be infinite, which the original problem states 
quite clearly.

Or do you also disagree with 0.99999... with infinitely many 9's equals 1?
