And just when I thought I had it all figured out..

So yeah yesterday I dug out my scale in preparation for the ounce I was pickin up tonight. I opened it up and I got this error message which I later found out had to do with calibration. So then I had to figure out how to calibrate my scale without a 100 gram weight that apparently you need to do so.. so yeah long story short, through one of your suggestions I decided to use 20 nickels as 100.0 grams for calibrating the scale. It worked like a charm and I thought everything was good to go...

Now I have the ounce and I'm ready to break it up but I just don't trust the weights.. It's the most mind boggling thing.. When I put 20 nickels on the scale the display reads 100.0 but when I put one individual nickel on.. it reads 5.7g what the fuckkkkkkkkk how is that possible?

So then I started really messing around with it and split the 20 nickels into 4 groups of 5 and placed them on the scale and it read 100.0 then I removed three groups and the scale should have read 25.0 but instead read 28.somethin and so then I replaced all four groups again and it read 100.0 and then I removed all but one different group of 5 nickels and same shit happened.. How is it that these nickels weigh more in small groups then as a whole. I'm so mad right now cause I can't trust these weights and apparently can trust them less in small quanities which is what I need for breakin up this ounce.. fuck! Please HELPPPPP!
