Woodchucks Chucking Wood

The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a given day varies greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to a Wall Street Journal article, New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equal to 700 pounds.

Some say it depends on three factors:

  • The woodchuck's desire to chuck said wood.
  • The woodchuck's need to chuck the aforementioned wood.
  • The woodchuck's ability to chuck the wood when it is a woodchuck

Others say:

  • The woodchuck could chuck as much wood as he wanted!b (By the way what is a woodchuck? Is it like a gopher?)
  • He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • If he could chuck wood, the woodchuck would chuck as much as he could!
  • A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • A woodchuck would chuck all the wood that the woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood. But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood. Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood, I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood.
  • If a woodchuck could chuck wood, then s/he'd chuck all the wood, s/he'd chuck and chuck and chuck and chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • It would chuck the amount of wood that she sells seashells on the seashore divided by how many pickles Peter Piper picks.
  • One quarter of a sycamore if you give him a quarter for every quarter of the sycamore he cut.
  • It might depend on how many female woodchucks were present. Or, it could depend on whether the woodchuck's mother-in-law was around or not. If she was, he'd be chucking all day. If not, he'd be watching the football game.
  • Some maintain that woodchucks could not and would not chuck wood at all.
  • It depends on how good his dentures are!
  • A woodchuck - would chuck - as much wood - as a woodchuck - could chuck - if a woodchuck could chuck wood. But unfortunately, woodchucks do not chuck wood.
  • About 5.72 fluid litres of wood (answer from the paper pulp mill).
  • About as many boards as the Mongol hoards would hoard if the Mongol hordes did hoard boards.
  • Um....... 23????
  • Tons. More than you can count. Honestly. No one can chuck more wood than a woodchuck.
  • If the woodchuck's name was Maurice, then it could chuck all the wood that it wanted to. However, if its name is Frank, no chucking would be allowed.
  • Due to the average size of a woodchuck and the general density of wood (not including cork) if a woodchuck could chuck wood it would probably get through about 6.573 pounds per day, assuming the woodchuck is functioning correctly.
  • Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3 units of wood.
  • "Sixteen and 1/2 board feet a day except on groundhog's day since groundhog is another name for woodchuck."- This answer is according to no less an authority than the 'Junior Woodchucks Guidebook', a publication often consulted by Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck and referred to yet again by them in answering this very same question.
  • How Chuck Norris got involved-A woodchuck would only chuck as much would as Chuck Norris would allow it to, because the woodchuck shares Chuck's name. Therefore, Chuck must punish it and make it chuck as much wood as Chuck can. So, a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as Chuck could.
  • None because a wood chuck cannot chuck wood!

  • Approximately 3.9675 pounds every 5.6843 seconds. So there.
  • 2.865 lbs every 11.3686 Seconds?
  • As much as he needed to be satisfied
  • But the true jokey answer, as told by my grandfather is: As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • a woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
  • Are you kidding? Everybody knows a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • But it definitely couldn't chuck Chuck Norris.
  • A group of people actually did a study on this. None of the wood chucks ate any wood planks so they never upchucked it but some of them chucked them (threw them) at people.
  • During my study of Woodchuck I came to the conclusion that woodchucks don't chuck wood but only drink beer.
  • However, this beer can frequently motivate them towards actions that can closely resemble the chucking of wood.
  • A woodchuck will only chuck certain wood, likely that which is found in their natural, prairie habitat. Therefore, the lack of trees on the prairie is quite closely related to the chucking of wood performed by these wood-chucking woodchucks.
  • Since it is the same animal as the Groundhog, should we not instead ask : how much ground would a groundhog hog if a groundhog would hog ground.
  • A Woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a Woodchuck could chuck, if a Woodchuck could chuck wood.
  • 315g. This was an estimate done in a book of useless trivia.

Tooooo late to read all of that and I'm still only 2/3 through read all I've missed since coming back from two weeks in Egypt.
 
he don't count, as he would ward the wood that the woodchuck chucked, if the woodchuck could chuck wood, should the wood by Woodward need chucking
 
Could our said woodchuck be Shakespeirian" To chuck wood or Not to chuck wood that is the question?" Or what if his missus got involved would our woodchuck chuck more wood than a woodchuck could chuck because she's a slave driver or would he chuck less than a woodchuck could chuck because he has to give her all his attention?

the question is: not if, or if not, a woodchuck could chuck wood, but the amount of wood, per say.

male woodchucks are not loyal to one mate, but have hareems of females, and are very territorial.

the new question therefore would be: if a woodchuck would chuck more wood than a rival woodchuck in order to impress/steal his females? if a woodchuck failed to impress his hareem, would his biatches fook off, with the kids, and leave him... leaving him with a huge wood-bill?
 
But that then begs the question, What pickup line would a woodchuck use to pick up said biatches "I've got Wood!!"

Woodchucks can not chuck wood, unless he is a member of the woodchucker union and is paid up on his dues. But due to environmental regulations, it looks like the government will not allow the woodchuck to make an honest living chucking wood. But rather forced to live off of the Taxpayers dime. Thanks to government intervention another woodchuck is out of work and everyone else's tax's goes up. Of which the government will keep a chunk to itself to hire more bureaucrats to create more unneeded laws to put more woodchucks out of work and the cycle continues until the woodchucks riot in the streets and take down the beavers in power.

So how much could a woodchuck chuck, depends on how oppressive the woodchucks government is.
