Passover Riddles

Dr. Marc B. Shapiro has asked me to pose the following two riddles. The first person to correctly answer the first riddle will be rewarded with a free copy of Kisvei Ha-Seridei Esh vol. 2.

1. In Hilkhos Pesah there is a slip of the pen (i.e. something that is incorrect) made by the Rema.

Hint 1: It is found between simanim 450 and 470.

Hint 2: You will be able to find it easier if you keep in mind that the Rema did not think in Hebrew.

Hint 3: If we weren't so technologically advanced, it would apply this year


2. Come up with a case, no matter how unusual where a melakhah done on next Sunday (first day of Pesah) will get you makkos, but you can do the same melakhah on Shabbos le-khat'hilah.
