Hi All,

I guess with Alan Hupe's post, this contest is now academic.
Too bad that there was already a known classification (which
would taint the outcome of a serious contest). But it was
all in good fun! Congrats to Rob and Herbert (and anyone else
who ~wanted~ to take LL6, but couldn't). Since there was so
much interest, we should try it again with the next fall
(preferably prior to classification!) Or even the next
interesting new find...

Here's my final tally of the guesses for posterity. (How
do we decide who was the furthest off? ;-)) --Rob M.

LL6, brecciated Rob Elliott
Diogenite Bernd Pauli (guess later rescinded)
L6, brecciated Martin Horejsi
LL6 (highly recrystallized) Herbert Raab *
L5 Rhett Bourland
LL4-6 Rob Matson
L/LL6 Frank Cressy
L5, brecciated Mike Tettenborn
Polymict eucrite Dave Schultz
Iron IIAB Dave Radosevich (sandbagging ;-))
Hematite nodule Jeannie (also sandbagging)

LL5 Dave Harris (sent 11:23pm PST) ***
LL4 Julien Courtois
LL6/7 Christian Anger
LL6, S4, W0, Fa 31 +/- 1 Adam Hupe (monomict microbreccia) !!
EL5 Steve Witt
Lunar Jake Delgaudio (also sandbagging)
Aubrite Razvan Andrei
LL7 Simon de Boer

------------------------------------------------------------------

* LL6 already taken
** L6 breccia already taken
*** While Phil sent his guess first, it didn't appear on the list until
    after Dave sent his, so both should get credit
!! I was going to give credit for specificity until I found out it
    wasn't a "guess" ;-)
