Hmm...

Daisuke, can I ask a question?

Yeah?

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

Alright, let's see. "Chuck" here would mean "to throw a short distance". A woodchuck is a small rodent,alternatively known as a groundhog.

Ah, dictionary definitions.

Now, considering the size of it, a woodchuck would not be able to lift much, or throw much wood. In fact, I doubt it has the ability to throw larger pieces of wood.

Makes sense.

Also, the question is somewhat faulty, for a woochuck could chuck any amount of wood spanning any set time frame. As there is no time frame I'd say that the intended time frame is an entire woodchuck's lifespan, 22 years.

So, in those 22 years, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

...Not enough information.

...That's it?

Yes. We haven't seen the rate at which woodchucks could chuck wood, and I doubt we can calculate it, either.

I see.

...So, how much stone would a stone block block if a stone block could block stone?

Just as much stone as wood chucked by a woodchuck, should it be able to chuck wood.

Ah.
