Logic Level 1

Sentence 1: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Sentence 2. How many woodchucks would a woodchuck-chucker chuck if a woodchuck-chucker could chuck woodchucks?

Sentence 3. How many woodchuck-chuckers would a woodchuck-chucker chucker chuck if a woodchuck-chucker chucker could chuck woodchuck-chuckers?

...

Continuing this pattern, how many instances of the letter k would sentence 100 have?


The answer is 400.

100 ∗ 4 = 400 100*4=\boxed{400}

The first sentence contains 4 4 k's, the second contains 8 8 , and each additional sentence contains four more.

LOL, I just select Ctrl-F and search for "k". The pattern shows 4,8,12. This is cute!

That's a smart way to help count. I was considering asking for the total number of letters but wanted to keep it easy.
