    Well lets look at the facts. A chicken and a midget mate then 36 hours later lays an egg and a half...it would take as long to answer this question as someone scientifically answers this question with dignity!

    This question was asked once before, in a slighly different form, using a peglegged monkey instead of a woodpecker. Here is the answer that I gave to it.

    as found on http://www.kenspace.net/

    First, the part about the 1.5 chickens laying 1.5 eggs in 1.5 days: The rate at which any single chicken or groups of chickens can lay eggs has no bearing whatsoever on the kicking ability of peg-legged monkeys. They are not even of the same species of animals. This part of the question exists entirely as a ruse to distract the audience. Unless you're trying to determine the total area of the field the blue tractor supposedly plowed, you may ignore this chicken data.

    The specific answer we seek is the total duration of time it would take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds from the dill pickle. The difficulty in resolving this problem lies within the fact that various pickles, dill or not, contain a varying amount of seeds. Furthermore, the size, strength and ability of a single-legged monkey can vary greatly. Therefore, without more specific parameters the question is impossible to answer.

    Why would a monkey have a wooden leg? Splinters would be hell.

    It would take just as long as a woodchuck chucking wood if a wooochuck could chuck wood.

    First of all, it's a grasshopper with a wooden leg, neither a woodpecker nor a monkey.

    The simple answer is:

    Seeds don't have pickles.

    It would take a week and a half for a woodpecker and a half with a wooden leg and a half to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle and a half.

    People, has public school taught you NOTHING???? The answer clearly is: About a banana this loud, and that's only because there are no bones in ice cream. My dad was asking that question in the '60s. Of course, that would make sense...except he was straightedge!!!

Furthermore, the size, strength and ability of a single-legged monkey can vary greatly. Therefore, without more specific parameters the question is impossible to answer with a definite number.

    But we can answer it with an equation. using V as a variable for the velocity of the kick, L for the diameter of the leg, s for the number of seeds in the dill pickle and X for the time we get the equation.

    X*1.28(L)/S=X

    *=multiplication

    /= division
