How many beans make 5

Hao Hi is a Chinaman. How many beans make five? The answer is five, but as I said that answer is in fact not tautological. Think LCDs. Well, you might say that question was asked long before LCDs but the principle is the same. Get it now? How many beans or LCD cells does it take to make the numeral five? Yes, five. It takes five to make six, three to make seven, seven to make eight, five to make nine.

Locked room mysteries. I talked about this in one of my recent videos. In one episode an empty wardrobe was carried up three flights of stairs. Seconds later, when the wardrobe door was opened, the dead body of a woman fell out. How on earth did it get there? And the problems are not solved, the questions are not answered because went looking in all the wrong places.

You made a wrong assumption somewhere. And the answer was hidden in plain sight all along. Questioning our assumptions. Get off your doggy track. Think different. That was an Apple advert. His talents, such as they are, are of a stable nature, and though he has often been brought to the post, he is not to be prevailed on to cross the bar of the House of Commons.

The phrase has given rise to humorous variations. Round the corner in Brook Street, the duke is dallying behind closed curtains with one Sophy Gerould, who loves him dearly, knows how many political beans make five-and-a-half , and is well received in Society. Prince Littler, the promoter of this pantomime, certainly knows how many beans make five thousand , and has spread himself on a transformation scene which is a real bean-feast , imposing, yet reasonably brief.

The phrase has featured in several advertisements for Heinz Baked Beans; for example, this is from the Daily Herald London of Thursday 7 th August Q How many beans make five? It just depends how long it takes to find five absolutely perfect beans —and perfect, by Heinz standards, really means something.

Every single bean goes through eight separate sorting processes! Remember this next time you eat Heinz Baked Beans. Heinz Baked Beans, 6d. Like this: Like Loading What do i mean? In this case i could have asked any other nonsensical question, the whole point was to see whether it started a catfight, or whether the question would attempt to be answered.

As has been seen you lot have all surprised me by attempting the answer and so have restored my faith in AB as a source of knowledge. In other words you set everybody up as guinea pigs just to prove a point - how patronising can you get? I think an apology is in order, because as far as I'm concerned your little plan has back fired - I am the most patient of people, and until now have never answered anyone in anger, preferring to ignore, but what you've done has made me see red!!!

BTW there is no 'what' after the Q that you asked. I'm really disappointed in you Darth, so come on, let the force give you strength to humble yourself!! Question Author good grief. That surprised you all, didn't it? It's the first and hopefully the last time I blow my top.

I've always treated everyone with the greatest respect and patience - is it too much to expect the same? It is neither humorous or clever to treat unsuspecting people as pawns in some game to prove some imagined point. It is a chatsite isn't it?

Especially since you all hounded Spellmaster off the scene because his spelling and grammar was better than yours. In all seriousness, if I want to know the real answer to a question is this where I'd look? When half of the replies start with "Well, I don't know much about Oh forgot, you're only here for a chat! Don't get me wrong, it makes funny reading - I think people pretend to be as dumb as they appear especially the sk8er boyz txtheads - I only ever asked one real question and a colleague answered it properly.

Best that was offered from AB was misconceptions, no facts. No offence.
