Might as well go metric, then.

Why?
Imperial is great:

 1 Gal = 4 Qt = 128 oz = 2**7 oz
 ½ Gal = 2 Qt =  64 oz = 2**6 oz
 ¼ Gal = 1 Qt =  32 oz = 2**5 oz
         ½ Qt =  16 oz = 2**4 oz = 2 c = 1 Pt
         ¼ Qt =   8 oz = 2**3 oz = 1 c = ½ Pt
                  4 oz = 2**2 oz = ½ c = ¼ Pt
                  2 oz = 2**1 oz = ¼ c
                  1 oz = 2**0 oz

( 1½ oz = 2**0.5849625 = 1 shot -- but this isn't an imperial measure. )

I'm a programmer, so powers of 2 are very common for me.

How did we get sidetracked into liquid measures? I thought the topic was how best to weigh gold, and I still maintain that if you want to use ounces, use troy ounces as is traditional. If you want to use the same system of weights for everything, then metric weights are as good a choice as any.

Holy crap... I was boggling at your chart before reading your comment... what the Hell is a 2**7?

Saw the word “programmer” and it all made sense... wow, it’s been a while since I used double asterisks instead of that goofy circumflex accent symbol.
