An old British expression, used in the context "he knows how many beans make five", meaning "he knows his stuff" or referring to one who's good at mathematical puzzlers. Derives from the days of the abacus, when the wooden beads (beans) were moved along in various increments.

A very pikey word indeed, pronounced to rhyme with "cow" and a corruption of "allow". Also the name of the bass-player in a shitty band called Jnr Loaded.
