If they're unconscious and not breathing, then chances are they're fibrillating or the heart's stopped all together. So: pump away.
Hint for keeping count of chest compressions: the chorus of "Nellie the Elephant" has 15 beats in it :)

That's about the right speed for 100 compressions per minute too.

Now that's debatable, according to my training - Checking for circulation can mean twitching or eye dilation.
Apparently pulse taking is variable.
