Obscure options rule. Hence, I choose take the hypotenuse of the chucking divided by the mass of the woodchuck. I believe that if you do the calculations you will get a nice closed form answer, an integer actually, see, the answer is 42.

Well I chose 1 metric ton, since if a woodchuck could chuck wood it would. Therefore it would have to be some amount of wood or another, metric ton being the only specific number it must be that answer.

Quote from: Wikipedia
The name woodchuck has nothing etymologically to do with wood. It stems from an Algonquian name for the animal (possibly Narragansett), wuchak. The apparent relationship between the two words has led to the common tongue twister: "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? — A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can't chuck wood" (alternative second verse: "He would chuck what a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood.").

That's what I was saying, that second verse, has to be something, and the only real something in this poll is 1 metric ton.

I picked take the hypotenuse of the chucking divided by the mass of the woodchuck.  If you think about it the chucking is proportional to the mass of the woodchuck which in turn would be the hypotenuse!

If a woodchuck cuts down a tree in the woods and no ones around does it make a sound.

No, I've shot at woodchucks before. Basically another name for groundhogs.

42 is the correct answer.  At least someone got it right.
