do you compress wind up copper wire

i read some where that if you coil up your copper wire tightly it makes more wieght for when you wiegh it in and the tighter you wrap it the better i just wondered how true this is and does anyone do it?

so if i just stripped my copper wire and left it all fluffy when it goe on the digi scales it would be the same wieght as compressed? thanks for the info

A snipe hunt, a form of wild-goose chase that is also known as a fool's errand, is a type of practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of credulous newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task. The origin of the term is a practical joke where inexperienced campers are told about a bird or animal called the snipe as well as a usually preposterous method of catching it, such as running around the woods carrying a bag or making strange noises such as banging rocks together. Incidentally, the snipe (a family of shorebirds) is difficult to catch for experienced hunters, so much so that the word "sniper" is derived from it to refer to anyone skilled enough to shoot one.[1]

The snipe hunt may be assigned to a target as either part of a process of hazing, in which the object is to initiate the snipe hunter into the group, or as part of a process of ostracism intended to encourage (or force) a person, perceived to be an unwanted interloper, to withdraw from the group's presence.

Try this on:

If you want to make more money by adjusting the weight of a pound of copper, buy it at the equator, and sell it at the closest yard you can find to the north pole (or south pole if you prefer). It's true.
