On this Daf, the Gemara has some of the strangest Ukimtos for a Mishnah that I have ever seen. Every case in the Mishnah is discussing a different, seemingly arbitrary, case. How can the Gemara suggest such strange Ukimtos? Have you heard any viable approaches to this Gemara?

As a matter of fact, Nobel prize winner Pfr. Yisrael Aumann does have a unique approach to this Gemara, using Game Theory. You can hear him live tomorrow on our site www.dafyomi.co.il (Monday night, 8:30 Israel time), or find the Shiur in our archives after that date www.dafyomi.co.il/lectures/shiurlist.htm.
I myself have suggested an alternate approach (that fits somewhat more naturally into the words of the Gemara Bavli and Yerushalmi here). It is written at length in Hebrew, and can be found in the attached file or at the following link:

A very brief summary in English can be found attached or at
