Rosh Hashanah 27: We Can't Hear Two Things at Once

First, a comment on the maidservant from yesterday's daf. Then, more on the trumpets and shofarot, and why we blow a longer blast on the shofar when it is accompanied. How do we relate to sound, and our experience of listening. Also, a new mishnah on both the physical shofar and its sound. A cracked or broken shofar is invalid for the mitzvah of shofar. Also, one who blows from the bottom of a pit or a cistern - can one fulfill the mitzvah? What if you happen to walk by shul during shofar-blowing? What is the role of intent? What is the role of the shofar?
