[...rationality discussion...]
I must be missing something. I thought the point of this riddle was the difference between avoirdupois and Troy weight -- a simple matter of (rather esoteric) factual knowledge not contained in the structure of the question.
That is an absolutely charming interpretation, and one that makes a lot of sense. However, in my experience, it's not how the riddle is commonly used.
That would be a great way to show off your knowledge of jeweler's weights, though.
