Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

1 troy pound = 12 troy ounce
1 kilogram = 32.150 746 569 troy ounce
3 troy pound = 36 troy ounce
A kilo would be a nice round number though, so I think I'd actually like a 1 kg more even though it would be lighter.

12 troy oz = 1 troy pound

I think you missed my point, but thanks for playing PH.
Next time don't post the answer until at least a couple hours after the OP
edit: a pound of Oprah is worth more than a pound of gold!

A pound of gold or a troy pound of gold?

Precious metals are weighed using Troy units while everything else is weighed using Avoirdupois units. Therefore, a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold and yet an ounce of feathers weigh less than an ounce of gold.

PH, if that were an official exam, I think you would've had to specify "t oz" or "t lb"
