I think he was referring to the size 1000 font you originally used for your OP.  Nick has since corrected that

Have you misplaced your reading specs or gone deaf?

What would you consider the usual skills and qualifications needed by a run of the mill treasesurer...?

The king is looking for a new treasurer, so he takes the applicant to his treasury.

Which contains ten piles of gold bars.

Every pile contains exactly the same number of gold bars.

Each gold bar weighs 1 kilo.

Except for the bars in one pile, which are all 1 gram underweight.

"Now," says the king. "Here is a weighing machine. It is amazingly strong and incrediably accurrate, but you can only use it once."

"So," the king continued. "I want you to take the weighing, do what you have to do and then tell me which pile contains the underwight gold bars."

So the applicant takes the weighing machine, uses it once and tells the king which pile contains the underweight gold bars

How did he do it?
