I should have said queried Google, perhaps. I typed in exactly 'how many oranges in a cup of juice', without the quotes. Interestingly, if I add 'are' as in 'how many oranges are in a cup of juice', it doesn't do that weird cu in conversion and gives a reasonable answer. That seems like an odd parsing choice for lack of a, in this case, fluff word, as the former is how I would ask the question... though maybe I'm the odd one.
