<pre wrap="">AIUI, the takana of doing all three versions is not out of concern
that only one of them is right, but just the opposite, to show that
they're <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>all<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> right, and that those who do any one of them are yotze.
(I don't remember the source for this; something in the back of my mind
seems to be faintly whispering "Rav Hai Gaon".)</pre>

Rambam (Hilchos Shofar 3:2) says the first way, and yes, Rav Hai
Gaon had said the second way (Teshuvos), followed by Rabbeynu Nissim
on Ryf, Rosh Hashonna 34a. The Ritva also offers an explanation that
does not resort, as the Rambam does, to saying that the original
authentic way of shofar-blowing was lost.<br>
