1)
(a) According to Rav, fruit that is given to someone to look after shares the Techum of the trustee. What does Shmuel say?
(b) According to the Rabanan in a Mishnah in Bava Kama, if Reuven authorizes Shimon to bring his belongings into his Chatzer, he automatically takes full responsibility for any damages that they sustain. What does Rebbi say?
(c) Rav rules like the Rabanan; Shmuel rules like Rebbi. How do we attempt to connect their opinions here with their opinions there?
(d) We reject this suggestion however. On what grounds would it be possible to establish ...
1. ... Rav here even like Rebbi?
2. ... Shmuel here even like the Rabanan?

2)
(a) How will Rav explain the Reisha of our Mishnah, which permits the trustees who are looking after the fruit of a man who lives in another town to bring it to him, provided he made an Eruv?
(b) We establish the Seifa of our Mishnah, which permits the visiting guests to take food back with them, provided, before Shabbos, the owner placed it in their domain through a third person, in two ways; the first, like we just explained the Reisha to reconcile it with Rav. What is the second?

(a) Who hung the piece of meat on the bolt of the door of the inn that that Rav Chana bar Chanila'i was visiting?

4)
(a) What did Rav Huna reply?
(b) Why does the fact that Rav Huna was a disciple of Rav create a problem?
(c) What do we mean when it answers that 'Ibra d'Dasha' is different?
(d) We still have some problems however, with the other half of Rav Huna's statement (that if others hung up the meat on Rav Chana's behalf, he would be forbidden to take it with him). What does ...
1. ... Rav Hillel ask Rav Ashi from the Din of Shor shel Petem? What is Shor shel Petem?
2. ... Ravina ask Rav Ashi from Rebbi Dosa (like whom Rebbi Yochanan ruled earlier in the Perek)?
3. ... Rav Ashi himself ask Rav Kahana from the Mishnah of 'ha'Behemah v'ha'Kelim k'Raglei ha'Be'alim'?

5)
(a) We conclude that Rav Chana bar Chanila'i was a great man who was deeply involved in his Torah-study. The issue no longer concerned carrying the meat back to his home-town, which Rav Huna would clearly have permitted in all cases. What then was the issue?
(b) In that case, what difference would it have made whether it was Rav Chana who hung up the meat or someone else?

6)
(a) Our Mishnah forbids watering and Shechting Midbariyos, but permits watering and Shechting Baysos. How does the Tana there describe ...
1. ... Midbariyos?
2. ... Baysos?
(b) Why does the Tana include watering (which is obviously permitted on Yom-Tov) in his statement?
(c) How does the Tana of the Beraisa describe Midbariyos and Baysos?
(d) Rebbi considers both of these Baysos. Then how does he define Midbariyos?

7)
(a) Rebbi Shimon bar Rebbi asked his father about 'Patzilei Temarah. What are Patzilei Temarah?
(b) What did Rebbi reply?
(c) What are the two conditions of 'Gerogros and Tzimukim'?

8)
(a) What discrepancy are we now faced with in Rebbi?
(b) We present three answer to resolve the discrepancy. Firstly, that the Midbariyos in our Mishnah are comparable to Gerogros and Tzimukim, and secondly, that Rebbi really holds like he says in the Mishnah. According to the second answer, how will he then explain his opinion in the Beraisa?
(c) In the third answer, Rebbi really holds like Rebbi Shimon (like he says in the Beraisa). How will we then explain his words in the Mishnah?
(d) What did the Rabanan reply?
