    My dad used to ask this but the answer was always:

    bean an' a 'arf, bean an' a 'arf, 'arf a bean and bean an' a 'arf

    (bean and a half, bean and a half, half a bean and bean and a half as translation for those that don't speak sarf larndon)

    That's not an option though?

    That seems to add up to 5. :D
