Unocal acknowledged the offer from CNOOC Limited, an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil to buy the company for $67 per share in cash. Unocal said it would evaluate the bid, but that its board's previous recommendation to shareholders to accept the Chevron offer remained in bid Wednesday, saying its offer "combines compelling value, regulatory certainty and accelerated timing, providing a superior transaction for Unocal stockholders." Chevron also noted that the merger agreement has been approved by the boards of both companies and has received regulatory approval.

The Federal Trade Commission approved the Chevron-Unocal deal in June after Chevron promised not to enforce a patent on reformulated gasoline the FTC said could have increased gas prices in California by over half a billion dollars a year, or almost six cents a gallon. The approval settled a two-year-old legal fight between Unocal and the FTC. Chevron noted that a deal place. Chevron offered in April to acquire Unocal in a deal that offered Unocal shareholders a choice of accepting $65 per share cash, 1.03 shares of Chevron stock or a combination of stock and cash. In a statement CNOOC Lim-ited's chairman and CEO, Fu Chengyu, called the bid "friendly" and said it would be superior for Unocal shareholders.

"The deal is fully financed, subject to customary closing conditions, and priced in line with market values for comparable businesses," Fu said. "We hope to be able to enter into a dialogue with Unocal soon and reach agreement on a consensual transaction." Chevron, based in San Ramon, reaffirmed its with CNOOC would require extensive new regulatory approvals in the United States and elsewhere. CNOOC's chief financial officer, Yang Hua, told Dow Jones Newswires that his company is "prepared to closely cooperate to get U.S. approval for this deal." Chevron said it expected Unocal shareholders to vote on its offer sometime in August. The CNOOC purchase, if it is completed, would be China's largest overseas acquisition ever.

Shares of Unocal rose nearly 2 percent Tuesday on rumors that CNOOC was considering a bid. The stock rose 1 cent to close at $64.86 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange, then rose 39 cents in after hours trading.

While it lagged behind the other search engines in this competition, MSN looked brilliant on one question that stumped all the other search engines: What company was acquired in the biggest leveraged buyout deal of all time? The first link on MSN's results page took me to a site that correctly listed RJR Nabisco. The test also revealed the disadvantage of depending on search engines they sometimes point to sites with conflicting answers. rarely realized their ultimate goal making things as clearcut as possible by summarizing the correct response at the very top of the results page so it wouldn't be necessary to click on a link and peruse another Web site.

Ask.com spit out a concise "Web answer" in just two of the 20 questions while the only time that Answers.com delivered was when I sought the definition of "googol." (It's the number one followed by 100 zeros.) Google, which drew its name from that mathematical term, fared reasonably well in the competition. The Internet's most popular search engine came up with the correct answer on the first link in eight of the 20 questions (including the one about tek-tites). That's something Yahoo did just five times and MSN only twice. None of the sites were omniscient. Answers.com, Ask.com and Google each drew blanks on three questions (I considered it a miss if a link to the correct answer didn't appear within the first three pages of results).

Yahoo and MSN each whiffed on six questions. There was only one question that baffled all the search engines, "Who was the first Cuban defector to play in Major League Baseball?"
