How much wood could a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck could chuck wood?

Yet another pointless study by Phoenix

Da Key

Time: T

Number of trees in one standard forest (4150): F

Time taken to chuck one standard tree (Two Hours): C

Lifespan of the average woodchuck (Five years): L

Number of hours in one year (8760): Y

Formula Description

There are F trees in one standard forest. It takes the average woodchuck C hours to chuck a single tree. Because C is in hour form, a year had to be broken into hours to get Y as a result. The lifespan of a woodchuck is Y. These three variables make up T. Now, take T * F five times to reach the lifespan. Now, take the time left and divide it by two to get the amount of trees chucked in the sixth forest. Then, take F * 5 to get the total number of trees chucked, and add the number you got when dividing the extra time by two.

The Formula

C * F = 8300 * 5 = 41500. Y-8,300 = 460 * 5 = 2300. 2/2300 = 1150.

F * 5 = 20, 750 + 1150 = 21,900

The Answer

Thus, a woodchuck can chuck 21,900 in its life.

Yes, I have too much time on my hands.
