Break it down:

I am no expert on woodchucks, but given their name is 'woodchuck' I would say that there is a 90% chance they can actually chuck wood. This being said, let's assume for the sake of the question that there's an infinite supply of wood available to he 'chucked.' Any and all limitations therefore will stem from the woodchuck alone.

Now, given the 90% chance of successful chucking capability, the problem now comes down to the woodchuck ... we'll call it W.

and you probably thought i was serious ...

Terrible answers.

According to Wolfram Alpha there are two possible answers to this question:

1.According to the tongue-twister: A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. 2.According to a scientific journal: "The Ability of Woodchucks to Chuck Cellulose Fibers" by P.A. Paskevich and T.B. Shea in Annals of Improbable Research vol. 1, no. 4, pp. 4-9, July/August 1995, concluded that a woodchuck can chuck 361.9237001 cubic centimeters of wood per day.

BEST ANSWER!

The above comments do not make sense. If the question is how much wood "would" it chuck, so why are you all saying it "would" chuck the amount equal to the the max amount is "can" chuck. That makes no sense. Just because it "can" chuck 361 cubic centimeters of wood per day does not mean that it "would". Just because I "can" throw [insert amount] of monkey shit across a room does't mean that I am going to spend all of my time throwing shit. I really don't enjoy throwing shit, so I wouldn't throw any shit-- unless it was at one of the kids who honestly thinks Citi is better than [insert any BB excluding UBS]. JK..... but seriously. -- Therefore the amount of wood it would chuck (given a woodchuck could chuck wood) is a function of (1) how much wood it can chuck, (2) how much wood is available, and (3) how much wood it wants (and/or needs) to chuck given the constraints of (1) and (2). All of these variables are an entirely different function in themselves, comprised of several factors, with variable (3) being a function of nearly infinite factors.
