Wiki Answers is always a good source for questions like these.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_w...uld_chuck_wood

Here is a portion of the answer:

Quote:
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. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood. How Chuck Norris got involve: 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.

Tsk, tsk. Your first answer choice is not the right wording.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

What I posted was the answer to the woodchuck question that I learned from a tongue-twister activity book when I was a child.

Other knowledge has dropped out of my mind as the years have passed, but that tongue-twister has always remained stuck in my brain - lol.

These so-called woodchucks are also known as groundhogs. I think they change their names during the off season so that we cant find them and beat the ever loving snot out of them for predicting 6 more weeks of freaking winter.
