Begin at the two dots on 45a, on the last narrow line. Learn the gemara and Rashi until 45b, tistayem derav, 10 lines from the top. What is the explanation in the opinion that says that two are not allowed to make a mezuman, what is wrong with making a mezuman that it is not permitted? See tosfos dh im that should answer this question. See Pnei Yehoshua on the tosfos (dh im, at the beginingg of the piece). On that tosfos, what is a nafka mina between the two answers of tosfos? What is the gemaras proof from ayn reshayin lechalek that two cannot be mezamen? See tosfos dh shlosha. On the gemara that discusses ladies making a mezuman, see tosfos dh shani that explains why we don’t have this minhag nowadays. See, however, Rabeinu Yonah (33a dh nasim and the beginning of dh nireh) that argues on tosfos and says that ladies are obligated to be mezamen. See Shulchan Aruch siman 199 sif 7 with Biur Hagra and Mishna Brura siman 199 sk 16 with Shar Hatzion sk 6 and Biur halacha dh nashim.
