If we assume that a bead weights 0.1 grams (I couldn't tell if you that is close or not - just for argument), then we can do the calculation. If an average person can easily pick up 50 pounds, then this is 22,700 grams. Divide this by 0.1 grams and you get 227,000 beads! If the beads weigh less than you could pick up more and vice versa.
