Silly question. A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

If he held a saw in his tiny paw, a ton of wood he could.
That makes it a difficult question to answer, as a board foot is a unit of volume, and a ton is a unit of weight. The conversion would depend on the density of the specific species of wood.
Edit: a board foot of Yellow Pine weighs between 2-3 lbs. Assuming a 2 lbs sample, a ton of wood would equal about 1000 board feet, so "C" would be the appropriate response to the test question.
Oak weighs 3.75 lbs per board foot, so in that case option "B" would be correct. (2000/3.75=533)
Tbf I have no doubt the density of the wood would affect the woodchucks ability to chuck said wood.
Why not! Heavier wood 🪵 is harder to chuck for any species! Gravity man. Feels heavy.
Well as an inexperienced oak wood chucked I would say that I every day would prefer Pine to chuck. As an experienced pine wood chuck chucker I chucked non American tons of wood.
Time spent chucking oak outcome vs pine would be a whole lot of wood!
He could cut a quarter-cut for every quarter he could cut.
Everyone knows woodchucks are lackadaisical workers at best, the answer is clearly A.
