    Was ist Deine Frage?

    Es ist ein Zungenbrecher wie "Fischers Fritze ...": Wieviel Holz würde ein Murmeltier hacken, wenn ein Murmeltier Holz hacken würde?"

    Dennoch gibt es eine Antwort:
    "A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood."

    or:

    He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood, as a woodchuck would, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

    Nice spoof on this at

    http://www.getodd.com/stuf/stupid/woodchuck.html

    with e.g.

    "Modern internet technology has advanced to the point that we can reliably monitor the amount a woodchuck chucks in real time.

    The results of this monitoring are shown below. Please note that the numbers vary due to the dispositions of the woodchucks involved. Etc."

    Wer die englische Version hat... Ganz am Anfang mit dem Woodsmith reden. Da gibt es einen grandiosen Dialog über die Woodchuck-Sache. Weiß es leider nicht mehr auswendig, aber Guybrush fragt den Woodsmith die Woodchuck-Frage und von da aus geht's 2-3x hin und her. Köstlich.

    A woodchuck does not chuck wood, because the name derives from the native americans...




    He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood, as a woodchuck would, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

    Ich kenne es auch in der Form "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck w0ood", was dann der Übersetzung von 2 entspräche, nur daß das letze "würde" durch ein "könnte" ersetzt werden müßte!

    Even if this thread has been inactive for quite some time now, it might be interesting for some people that SIRI (the voice recognition software of Apple's iPhone 4S) offers various answers for this question.
    Here are three examples of its many variations:
    Comment
    "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
    -"It depends whether you talk about African or European Woodchucks."
    - "A woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood."
    - "42 cords of wood, doesn't everyone know that?"

    Cheers,
