Well, by everyone's calculations so far... It would take the squirrel 20 days to take out all 20 ears of corn. The other two ears each day being the ears attached to the squirrel's own head.

0 Jiminy Cricket Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Why would there be ears of corn in a hollow stump?? Well, it was a hollow stump, therefore someone was chopping down trees. The corn, having ears, wanted to see if it could answer the proverbial "If a tree falls in the woods and noone is there to hear it..."
