A pound of feathers
or a pound of gold.
A pound of feathers
or a pound of gold.
Answer: lots of feathers
A pound of feathers. Some would say a pound is a pound, but the fact is: Gold is a precious metal and is therefore weighed in the Troy system of measurement. This means that a pound of gold weighs only 12 oz and a pound of feathers weighs 16 oz.
