naturally i wanted to see if it could guess a meteorite, and to my surprise 
this is how the game played:

Yes ,   No  , Close
19.    Is it inorganic? Yes.

17.    Is it smaller than a golf ball? Sometimes.
16.    Does it have cash value? Yes.
15.    Can you lift it? Sometimes.

11.    Is it found in mines? No.
10.    Is it commonly used? No.
9.    Can it be placed on your head? Sometimes.

4.    Can you walk on it? Irrelevant.
3.    Is it multicolored? Sometimes.
2.    Does it come in different colors? Yes.

normally when I talk to someone about meteorites i get a 'meteor-what?' 
response more often than not. maybe this is a sign of meteorites becoming 
more of a common knowledge sort of thing... ?
