Commentary for Chullin 213:13

ואמר רבא

Now it follows that if it can hold [a quarter log] even though there is not [that much] in it [it may be used]! - This is no difficulty, for the one passage refers to one person and the other to two persons.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Where one person washes the hands a quarter log of water is necessary, and so also where two persons wash the hands one after the other only a quarter log is necessary; obviously then in the latter case the second person washes his hands with less than a quarter log. This is allowed, however, because of the reason stated infra, that the second person uses the residue of what was the proper amount for washing the hands.');">⁶</span>
