Apparently its my turn, have this one:

Two identical brothers become employed as lumberjacks. To all intents and purposes the two brothers are equal in every way, they and are even working identical plots of land. Both are assigned for a straight 8-hour shift.

Lumberjack Arnie (1 brother), spends his entire 8-hours doing nothing but swinging his axe. He is in impeccable shape and never fatigues or tires. By the end of the day Lumberjack Arnie has cut down 100 trees. He is very impressed with his work.

Lumberjack Lester (2nd brother), chops trees for just 50 minutes every hour. He is also in the same impeccable shape, uses exactly the same sort of axe and never fatigues from the day’s operations. By the end of the 8 hours, Lester has cut down 115 trees. (15 more then his identical brother.)

So the riddle of course is; What was Lumberjack Lester’s Secret? How did he cut down so many more trees?

 

[Cluck]

He uses a chainsaw \o/

or

He pays a team of people to cut the trees down for him. His "50 minutes work in the hour" is spent managing those people, not actually chopping trees.


EDIT : If I'm right, let Puffy have the honours, I don't do riddles!

Nope, identical patches of land

 

[Cluck]

Does he actually chop down every single one of those 115 trees with his chopper?

 

[Pamellaaa]

Both brothers only chop trees with their respective choppers.

Lester obvioulsy had a wood chuck that, indeed, could chuck wood.

Nah, seriously, he traded in some sheep for wood.

I have no idea how that would work, but no he didn't trade anything.

He just swings his axe faster than his brother?

Nope, they are working in exactly the same way with the exception of the amount of time they work for.

 

[Photonenbert]

he hits higher up the tree where its thinner so hes quicker even though its the "same trees"

Nope, cutting the same part of the tree.

 

[Photonenbert]
