Noticing the tags on SA's Brian Cox sub, surely the only real answer is :

Two beans, a bean, a bean and a half and half a bean.

Any other combination is simply ridiculous.

1 cow = 5 magic beans

5 magic beans = 25 normal beans

5normal beans = 1/5 cow

If you did distribute the Spice Girls as two on each hand and one on the mouth, how would you allocate them?

As Zeno once pointed out, you can never actually have five beans since the infinite series...

2.5 + (2.5 / 2) + (2.5 / 4) + (2.5 / 8) + (2.5 / 16) ...

tends towards 5 but never actually gets there. The most beans you can have is therefore 4.9999999...

QED

I had 2.5 complex beans. But when I doubled my 2.5 complex beans I ended up with -5 beans which pissed me off so I am not playing anymore.
