Haha, I've always wondered the same thing. I've always done 5Ls of coolant to 10Ls of good water. Probably more like 6 or so litres seeing as the old stuff never really is completely drained.

33% coolant:66% distilled water is the go. There's a limit to how much glycol should be in the mix. I found this previous thread that might be of use.
post1027550.html#p1027550 If you really want to get more coolant out, you can disconnect the heater tap below the BBM.
