One fig of terumah fell into 50 light figs and 50 dark figs. Its color is unknown. How is the mixture treated?
When the color of the fallen fig is unknown, both types of figs are combined to achieve 101× nullification, since all figs could potentially be pressed into a single cake or since the specific color is not significant to us (H1).
Question 2
A se'ah of terumah falls directly onto the mouth of a storage vat of wheat. What is the correct procedure?
Since the terumah has not mixed with the vat's contents and its location is known, it cannot be nullified by the 101× rule. Instead, one physically removes it together with some of the ordinary produce beneath it (H4).
Question 3
One fig of terumah fell into 50 ordinary figs, and then one fig from the mixture was lost. What must be done?
With 50 figs remaining and uncertainty about whether the lost fig was the terumah, the mixture is doubtful. Since doubtful terumah requires a majority, one must add 51 figs to the 50 remaining, creating a majority of non-terumah produce (H9).
Question 4
A se'ah of impure terumah falls into less than 100 se'ah of pure ordinary produce that is not normally eaten raw. What happens to the mixture?
The mixture is miduma (less than 100× to nullify). Since the whole mixture is treated as terumah, it cannot be burned (forbidden to burn pure terumah), and for produce not eaten raw there is no risk of accidental consumption — so it is left to rot (H11).
Question 5
A se'ah of terumah fell into one of two containers in unknown fashion. Later a second se'ah fell into one container — this time it IS known which one. What is the ruling?
When the first se'ah created doubt between both containers and only afterward did the second se'ah fall to a known container, the existing doubt cannot be resolved by the second fall. Both containers remain problematic (H15).
