1. Introduction
The contingency sample included 492.12 grams of material finer than 1 cm, as well as 12 rock fragments larger than 1 cm. Details are given on pages 17 and 18 in the Apollo 11 Lunar Sample Information Catalog, with Contingency Sample material distinguished by "Cont. Bag" in the last column. Although the Sample Catalog states that "The sample bag was filled with two scoops", the 16-mm film shot out Buzz's window clearly shows that Neil scooped up material at five separate locations. At one location, he appears to have collected only fines and rock fragment too small to be well resolved on the 16-mm film. At each of the other four locations, he appears to have collected not only fines and small rocks, but also a rock large enough to be clearly visible in the 16-mm film. There are four rock samples bigger than 10 grams: 10021 (250 gm), 10022 ( 95.59 gm), 10023 (66 gm), and 10024 (68.12 gm). It is tempting to identify these four as the four rocks visible in the 16-mm film that Neil appears to have collected. Tentative identifications are indicated below in labeled versions of AS11-39-5777, a photo Buzz took out his window before the EVA, and AS11-40-5857, a frame Neil took from near the ladder before he collected the Contingency Sample.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
