but if you were to ask me I what I got out of it is the following:


   1. You need one k'zayis for the mitzva,
   2. You need SOME matza in addition for hamotzi
   3. Where I am fuzzy is why that additional amount needs to be an
   entire k'zayyis [I saw it but I did not get it and I had no time to figure
   it out]
   4. re: Eating 2 k'zaisim at the same time:  it  makes little sense to
   me, the important thing is just to not be mafsik  and to coniually consuse
   as best as one can [iirc AhS agrees on this point.]
