Gold is heavy.

What weighs more: One pound of gold or one pound of feathers?

Regards,

Feathers is heavier, Gold is measured in “troy” oz. (12 oz =1 lb)which is lighter than feathers (16 oz=1 lb).

Isn’t the answer to that “a pound of Feathers”?

Because they use different measurement systems with the same unit names?
