There's a (fake) formula for this

 

$${{\mathtt{chuck}}}^{{\mathtt{wood}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{rest}}$$

 

Where chuck = the amout of times chuck is said

wood = amount of times wood is said

rest = every other word

 

There are 4 chucks (c=4)

There are 4 woods (w=4)

The rest are 7 (r=7)

 

Therefore, the input is:

 

$${{\mathtt{4}}}^{{\mathtt{4}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{7}}$$

 

4^4 = 4*4*4*4 = 16*16 = 256

256-7 = 249

 

The wood chuck can chuck 249 woods.

This is a repeat of an old thread, but it is fun. Plus, we have many more new people now who would not have seen the old (multiple old) threads.

Take a look at this.  Stu found it for us ages ago. (Thanks Stu)
