it doesn't matter. both fall at the same rate in free-fall: gravity pulls everything at the asme rate. (sometimes air resistance needs to be taken into account)

In a vacuum, they'll fall at the same speed.
In a resisting medium, such as air, the rocks will fall faster.

Oh come on, how many times must Galaleo have to prove this. I seem to recall something about a tower in Italy and an orange and a cannonball. Google it.

That depends... If they had the same surface area probably the same... but otherwise air reistance would take it's toll.
