70/5000 if a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much could a woodchuck chuck?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
I en artikel i Associated Press fra 1957 omtales spørgsmålet som "en gåde, der slår sfinksen, da den stadig er ubesvaret". Et mere konkret svar blev offentliggjort af Associated Press i 1988, som rapporterede, at en fisk- og naturtekniker fra New York ved navn Richard Thomas havde beregnet mængden af jord i en typisk 25-30 fod (7,6-9,1 m) lang skovmårhule og havde fastslået, at hvis skovmåren havde flyttet en tilsvarende mængde træ, kunne den flytte "omkring 700 pund (320 kg) på en god dag, med vinden i ryggen".  I en anden undersøgelse, hvor "chuck" blev betragtet som det modsatte af "upchucking", blev det fastslået, at et murmeldyr kunne indtage 361,9237001 cm3 (22,08593926 cu in) træ om dagen.

A 1957 Associated Press piece refers to the question as "a riddle which beats the Sphinx, since it's still unanswered". A more concrete answer was published by the Associated Press in 1988, which reported that a New York fish and wildlife technician named Richard Thomas had calculated the volume of dirt in a typical 25–30-foot (7.6–9.1 m) long woodchuck burrow and had determined that if the woodchuck had moved an equivalent volume of wood, it could move "about 700 pounds (320 kg) on a good day, with the wind at his back".  Another study, which considered "chuck" to be the opposite of upchucking, determined that a woodchuck could ingest 361.9237001 cm3 (22.08593926 cu in) of wood per day.
