A pound of feaathers weighs more than a pound of gold, because feathers are measured in Avoirdupois pounds and Gold is measured in Troy pounds (which are not as heavy as Avoirdupois ones).

Yep. Even though a Troy ounce is heavier than an Avoirdupois one, the fewer of them in the Troy pound still makes it lighter.

(I note you didn't try to type Avoirdupois.)

I missed #7 and #8 because they are trick questions that depend on misinterpretation of the wording.
