How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? This is one of the unanswerable mysteries of the Universe, but I, MisterWaffles, have the answer. (It's quite simple really.)

Woodchuck= w
Wood= w²
x = cheese
y = Bob, Hank, and Jim

w² ≈ [w(xy-178) + w²(x² + 45)] - √1852 * 17pi



Wow. I just love spewing false information... Very Happy

But really, I think I chose a whole tree, since my equasion above obviously shows that the woodchuck would chuck a whole tree. Wink (Actually, I don't remember what I chose. xD)

MisterWaffles, you have too much time and too great a love for math.
Can you tutor me in trig?

Someone should create a spoof with Wood Cucky, the forest-chucking genetically engineered wood chuck who comes to torment and unsuspecting family....Buwhahaha.

OFFTOPIC: I'm only in Algebra II. No trig here. Razz (That's just a bunch of mathematical symbols shoved together, anyway. Very Happy)

I'd need empirical observation to form any kind of conclusion about that...

I'm a senior in trig...can someone say brainwashing? Actually, it does get fun at times but for the most part...writing and playing guitar is where I'm supposed to be. I can do fractions and decimals and algebra which is enough to file my taxes so what's the use of trig? The world may never know.

But anyway, on to the wood chuck. My younger sister knows the answer to this one but considering its 3:08 AM and I'm the only person in the Harper household awake, she would probably knock the living daylights out of me for waking her up to ask her that.

Wait until you enter calculus.

Just integral a number and then derive it. That will get the number of wood a woodchuck would chuck if it could chuck wood in a chuck shop.

I was actually bored enough to look this up on the internet one day, back in 6th grade. The average amount of wood chucked by a woodchuck was 247 chords. The record for woodchuck wood chucking is 336 chords of wood (it failed to give the amount of time either of these figures were chucked over, however.)

And of course, this was all made up by someone who has even more time on their hands then me.
