However, in this [following case], R' Eliezer is lenient while R' Yehoshua is stringent. [If] one presses a litra of dried figs in the mouth of a jug, but he does not know which [one] it is, R' Eliezer says: We view them as if they are separated, and the lower ones raise up the upper ones. R' Yehoshua says: It does not go up until there are one hundred jugs there.

How so? [If there were] fifty black figs and fifty white[ones], [and] a black [fig] fell [in], the black ones are forbidden and the white ones are per-mitted; [if] a white [fig] fell [in], the white ones are forbidden and the black ones are permitted. When it is not known what fell, they raise up one another. In this [case], R' Eliezer is stringent, while R' Yehoshua is lenient.
