   Keywords: Just answer a simple (?) question correctly & U win!

   In the latest edition of Time magazine, there is an advertisement
   by Sanka wherein they announce a new contest. If you can tell them
   how many coffee beans (to within 50) are used, on average, to produce
   a 13 ounce can of ground Sanka, you win *12* cans of the stuff.
   There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit. Limit one
   winning entry per household/family. There are no purchase requirements.

   Does anyone out there in net-land have any good guesses they'd like
   to share with the rest of us?

   Entries should be sent to:

   "Spill the Beans" Contest
   P.O. Box 5317
   Kankakee, IL 60902

   Enter as often as you want. Guess must be printed on a 3 x 5 inch card and
   sent by first class mail to the above address. Contest ends February 28,1987.
   Typical restrictions (no employees of General Foods, etc.) apply.

I don't drink coffee, so I won't bother, but how hard would it be to
count 1/2 ounce of beans and multiply by 26?  Am I missing something?
