(a) Which two Dinim does our Mishnah extrapolate from the word "Ben"?
(b) Seeing as 'Ben' usually implies even under bar-Mitzvah, and 'Ish', from the age of bar-Mitzvah, on what grounds does the Tana interpret it here to mean from bar-Mitzvah, and "Ish", only three months later?
(c) We ask why we need to specifically preclude a Katan from the Chiyuv of a ben Sorer u'Moreh more that any other Mitzvah, where he is automatically Patur. What do we answer (besides the fact that "Ben" implies a Katan)? Why might we have thought that he is Chayav?
