Here's one for you guys: What weighs more, a ounce of feathers or an ounce of gold? How about a pound of feathers vs a pound of gold?.
The answers: Ounce of gold weighs more, but a pound of gold weighs less.
Why?: Gold is measured in troy ounces which is heavier than a normal ounce. But a troy pound is only 12 ounces. Now you know.

How can pound of gold weigh different from pound of feathers (if use same standard pound?) Weight is releveant measure. Now correct question is: which have more mass: pound of gold or pound of feather? Since molecular density different, feather have more mass then gold.
