How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

>> No.5138207

He'd chuck 361.9237001 cubic centrimeters of wood per day, which is the wood that a woodchuck COULD chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

You're assuming that a woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

A lazy woodchuck would chuck less wood than he could chuck.

Also, different types of wood can have wildly different densities. Your figure fails to specify type.

Are we assuming a Maxwellian distribution for chuck rates?

Woodchucks chucking wood is only one interpretation of the WCC Paradox

Have we considered the case where the woodchuck exists in a superposition of chucking and non-chucking states?

The quantum woodchuck was just a mind experience to prove that quantum mechanics don't apply to woodchucks, have you learned nothing!?

What kind of tool is he using to chuck? a steel axe would allow him to chuck more than, say, using his hands. Over what time period is this occuring? What is his age? Muscle mass?
Question too vague, too many variables, need more information
