After the Gemara rejects the pshat of chiger beyom rishon according to the man de'amar tashlumin derishon, why can't the gemara go back to the pshat of chatzi eved chatzi ben chorin?(The only problem with that pshat is according to ravina)
Yitzy Feldstein, Far Rockaway, US
The Gemara does not go back to the answer of "Chatzi Eved Chatzi Ben Chorin," because it is trying to find an answer that Ravina would agree with, and with which the Man d'Amar Tashlumin l'Rishon would agree with. The only answer is a Suma b'Achas me'Einav.
