RE: Approximately how much more does a Pound of Feathers weigh than a Pound of Gold?

in #riddle8 years ago (edited)

Exact numbers in grams: ordinary pound(in this case a pound of feathers) = 453.59 grams
a pound of gold(which is not measured ordinary way 373.24
In Troy system an pound weights 12 ounces

Sort:  

The Troy system was used in history to measure precious metals, drugs and gemstones, and the ordinary pound is 21% larger than a pound of gold

Not the answer I was looking for, but I'll give you an up vote for coming up with a different angle on it.

Thank you!
