[meteorite-list] New Year Quiz - the solution

[Ingo Herkstroeter]

Hope we will get this sort of "meteorite related Quiz" frequently!!! I think
understanding terrestrial rocks and learn how to destinguish between them
and meteorites, is a enrichment for everyone, especially if they´re so
similar (in composition etc.) to meteorites.
