Erechin Challenge-two tiers suggestion

[Zev Schonberg]

First of all, you can count me in for 100NIS no matter how this turns out.

 

However, I think the challenge should have two or three divsions, similar to boxing; heavyweight and lightweight.

The heavyweight would be for the fortunate ones who have ample time in the morning to get a full workout, with the result being that they should know the Mesechta cold.

The lightweight division, should be for guys like me, who have time for a quick half-hour or hour review and then have to dash off to daven and work...get home around 7PM, have dinner with the kids, help with HW, baths, etc....and then stagger off to daven maariv and try to cram in another 45 minutes of review. We should know the Mesechta cold as well...but not as well as the tough guys who are doing so much trash talking on the court.

In the final round, maybe we can have an inter-division challenge with the winner from each division, going for the final KO.

2 final points about the challenge:
a. several individuals told me this morning they are betting on Dan.
There is some confusion here this is not a 2 man match, i was hoping
everyone would participate. i hear zev's point.

b. I have been informed over the past 24 hrs that things got out of
hand and i crossed the line of appropriateness. I apologize if i hurt
anybody's sensitivities. obviously my only goal was to shake things up
a little bit and create some excitement in what could have been a
period of letting our guard down post siyum. i will step back over the
line.
P.S. this is not the only line i crossed. Judge Lauriat of Boston
Superior Court would put a yellow tape line on the carpet daled amos
from the witness box when i would try a case and fine me $500 every
time i would step over the line because i used to love to get right in
the witness' face in cross examination, usually a large Irish Cop. B'H
the forum has changed but i guess im still crossing.

Maybe i'm missing something. I am reviewing the answers to last week's
test and it lists ketanim as included in the ribui of megilah, where
is that?

Your correction is valid... Though interestingly enough as I pointed out the answer is true however they cannot be motzei others they are chayav.... I do wonder why the gemara didn't say one to be marbeh ketanim to CHIYUV and then to be marbeh nashim etc to be able to be motzei

Regarding that same answer Akiva is referring to - why didn't you include:
less than a month, sukka, lulav, tzitit, tefillin & n'gaim? What did I miss
in the question?
