just curious if a woodchuck can really chuck wood? If so, how much. This riddle has always stumped me

Well, Woodchucks can chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. So in reason if a woodchuck could chuck 35 cubic feet of dirt he could chuck an equivalence of 700 pounds of wood. In a more logical sense I believe that if the woodchuck chucked the amount of wood that she sells seashells on the seashore divided by how many pickles Peter Piper picks would give us the true answer.

a woodchuck does not chuck wood.
if it does, depends on the time it is given. Rather, shouldn't the question be something like, "At what rate can a woodchuck chuck wood, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

A woodchuck (groundhog) doesn't chuck wood. Hence the line in the tongue twister (not riddle), "IF a woodchuck could chuck wood"
And the full tongue twister goes: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?...He would chuck what a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I have answered this one already with a method to determine this. Let me go look it up.
That depends on the wood chucking ability of the woodchuck, as well as the time involved in this activity.
Observe your woodchuck's day night cycle and document sleep time, time spent awake, and time in wood chucking activity.
Make a nice pretty graph of this.
While you're at it, graph the volume or mass of wood chucked during activity time.
If you were like me, you'd get a graph that looked like:
(wood chucked)

L_____________________________ (time)
This is a graph indicating that the woodchuck would not chuck wood.
In order to generalize the data it is important to take a statistically representative sample of the woodchuck population and perform this experiment.
Sounds like a good postgrad study! Anyone with some grant money?

We, as the National Alliance for the Preservation of Woodchucks, are trying to stop the exploitation of Woodchucks.
Please, chuck your own wood.

Wolfie is right. I looked up info on the woodchuck when I had one in my yard.

Why can't a woodchuck chuk wood?
