Here's a great trick question for the future: "Which is heavier, an ounce of feathers, or an ounce of gold?" The answer is an ounce of feathers, because feathers are measured in imperial ounces, while gold is measured in Troy ounces, and imperial ounces are heavier than Troy ounces.
Except that’s incorrect. A Troy ounce weighs about 2.8 grams more than an imperial ounce. It’s the smallest difference and it’s a difference of 0.09 imperial ounces, but gold would still be heavier

Actually, a pound of feathers weighs MORE than a pound of gold. (Hint: They use two different systems. Gold and precious metals, including gems, use TROY weight. Most common items use a weight system called AVOIRDUPOUS. They're different!!)
While you are correct, the spirit of the question is assuming that we are using traditional weight definitions. Not everyone knows of the troy weight system so it’s forgiven
No, it is incorrect. Gold is measured in Troy weight which has 12 oz / lb. Most other things, including feathers, are measured in standard weight (Avoirdupois) which has 16 oz / lb. Even though a Troy oz weighs more than a standard oz, altogether, a pound of gold weighs less than a pound of feathers.
Everyone’s confused about Windsor (Canada) being south saying it depends where you are. Ok, you aren’t jumping in the river or lake and making it across, you need to cross the border via tunnel or bridge and both take you south into Canada
This is untrue. To make the capital, Maryland and Virginia gave up some of their land to make the capital Washington D.C but this changed during the civil war. The once residents that used to live in Virginia now reside in the district of Washington D.C which meant they had no voting power. Virginia took back the land they gave to D.C in order to gain more voters to support slavery since the civil war was about to break out. DC is only in Maryland but it is next to the border of Virginia.
I mean those two guys are not wrong I think that he should have taken that as correct due to about half of it is above cuba, or he should have said east side
For a couple of those questions, my reply would be, "Just how technical do you want me to be?" Technically, Washington D.C. is in both Pennsylvania and Maryland, but at the same time, it's in neither. (At least that's what I remember from elementary school.) Washington D.C. was turned into its own district, but I don't think they actually removed it from either State. And a pound of feathers vs a pound of gold? It depends on what type of pound you're talking about. Most, if not everything else, is measured at 16oz per pound. But gold is measured at 12oz per pound. So by that standard, a pound of feathers would be 4oz heavier than a pound of gold. (Different scale (Troy Scale) is used for gold.)
DC was formed by taking land from both Maryland and Virginia, not Pennsylvania, forming a 100 square miles. Later on the federal government gave back the Virginia part of the land back to Virginia that’s across the Potomac river. Technically DC is NOT in any state as it is not enveloped by any state.
DC borders Maryland & Virginia, not Pennsylvania (PA is north of MD) - the region is called the DMV. DC isn’t part of any other state, & it’s not one itself. It’s (as the guy here says) a federal district, as laid out in the Constitution.
Listen to AAKLA ! They're right ! Gold IS weighed with the TROY SYSTEM; 12- 480 grain ounces. Feathers and most everything else (everything in Pound System) is measured in the AVOIRDUPOIS SYSTEM 16- 437.5 grain ounces. So technically a Pound of feathers weighs more than a Pound of gold.

Man and I thought I got em with the fact that the first question being off. It says "what state is Washington d.c. in", but they answer it like the question was "is Washington DC a state"
Actually the feathers physically weigh more as well. If we're talking a pound of feathers in a pound of gold a pound of feathers is physically heavier.
A pound of feathers are heavier because they are actually weighed with a different type of pound The feathers are weighed using a system called “avoirdupois” with which there are 16 ounces in a pound. This is how we weigh things like food, equipment and ourselves. Precious metals like gold and silver are measured using the “troy” system where there are 12 ounces in a pound

He did say NOT part of the US
wth mans didnt even know his own question. they got the first one wrong
I am not American or Canadian, but I got the last question correct - he said at the very start he was going try and trick you up with the questions.
Oddly enough I got it too by dumb luck
"Which weighs more 1lbs of feathers or 1lbs of gold?"
"Feathers because gold is gold, and feathers you have to carry what you did to the poor birds"
Actually the feathers physically weigh more as well. If we're talking a pound of feathers in a pound of gold a pound of feathers is physically heavier.
Most real street trivia I’ve seen, most of the time interviewers rig the interviews for comedic purpose.
That last question is pretty tricky. It makes sense when you look at a map but they shouldnt feel bad for not knowing it
They are really smart
Cuba is a great guess though!
I live in Detroit it’s actually east
A pound of feathers are heavier because they are actually weighed with a different type of pound
The feathers are weighed using a system called “avoirdupois” with which there are 16 ounces in a pound. This is how we weigh things like food, equipment and ourselves. Precious metals like gold and silver are measured using the “troy” system where there are 12 ounces in a pound
Plus you have to deal with the weight of what you did to those birds.
