This is difficult to question answer. 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.

Would it change the formula if the woodchuck chucked oak instead of pine or birch?

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.:thumbsup:

Oh so true!

That's some damn good good scientific reasoning my good man. But we also have to factor in the weather; was the day excessively cold, thereby forcing the woodchuck into hybernation? Was the day exceptionally hot, fatiguing the woodchuck?

What region does the woodchuck live in? If it's a semi-arid climate full of pine trees, the wood-chucking could take extra long for the dense pine wood. If the woodchuck lives in a damp west-cost region of the northern United States or southern BC, evergreens would be large and abundant, with soft wood easy to chuck all day.

Has the economy been factored in? An economic depression could be a severe blow to the wood-chucking industry.

Are there large predatory birds and mammals in the region that may detract from the woodchuck's concentration on his work?

Does the woodchuck suffer from chronic depression, anxiety, or perhapse even bi-polar disorder?

Does the woodchuck have a history of a strong work-ethic?

Does the woodchuck eat a balanced diet and excercise regularly?


I've sent this question to some top scientists around the world. It's being worked on by theoretical physicists at NASA, geneticists in the University of Bhangladesh, renouned economists from Stokholm, and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. We believe that, with a 60% increase in funding from 7 world governments, minimal support from the UN, and help from the American Psychiatric Association, a conclusive answer should be possilbe by the year 2017.

Heck if I know. I just pasted your question in Google. What you think I have this on the top of my head? No way. I am a very uncreative stoner that has a fast dsl connection.

To many things I failed to consider in my answer. Also...

Is this woodchuck Union or Non Union.

Seasonal factors might also come into consideration. For instance the woodchuck might have a tummy ache because he ate too much Halloween candy and might not be able to chuck as much wood.

I think we need to bring in and interview a woodchuck for this one.

Bah, you beat me to it! Oh well, guess I'll just go get high.
