או שמצאתו מאחוריו. שהיה הגט על גבו ועקם גבו לה כדי שתטלנו:
אינו גט עד שיאמר טלי גטך. ולכי אמר טלי גטך מיהת הוי גט. אבל אם היה הגט על גבי קרקע, או על גבו או בגופו ולא עקם גבו או לא המציא גופו לה כדי שתטלנו, אפילו אמר טלי גטך אינו גט:
קוראה והרי היא גיטה. כשהיא קוראה בו רואה שהוא גטה:
קרוב לה מגורשת, קרוב לו אינה מגורשת. כל שהיא יכולה לשמרו והוא אינו יכול לשמרו, זהו קרוב לה. וכל שהיא אינה יכולה לשמרו והוא יכול לשמרו זהו קרוב לו. שניהם יכולים לשמרו או שניהם אינם יכולים לשמרו, זהו מחצה על מחצה. ולענין פסק הלכה אינה מגורשת עד שיגיע גט לידה או לרשותה:

גיטין פרק ח׳ משנה ג׳
Bartenura
אמר לו בעל חובו: זרוק לי חובי – In the Gemara we establish it for when the creditor says, throw me my debt (the monies owed by the debtor) in the [manner similar to the] nature of Jewish divorce, and since he [i.e., the creditor] said this to him [i.e., the borrower], this obligation of indebtedness has the same [format] as the law the law of Jewish divorce, for if the borrower threw it closer to the creditor, and it [became] lost , the borrower is acquitted and he is not liable to pay [again], but if it landed closer to the borrower, he is liable to pay. But if the creditor said to him: throw me my debt and it shall be dismissed, since he threw it to him in any matter, he is exempt.
לאויר הגג – wherever there is a gap of less than three handbreadths near the bottom of the roof, it isd considered a “Lavud” – the legal fiction of considering separated parts as united.
מרשות הגג – if it left the divided off space of the roof and entered into the partition of the space where it is standing (serving as a legal fiction – as if one of its broadside were prolonged to form a partition).
או נשרף הרי זו מגורשת – the throwing of the Jewish bill of divorce into the courtyard preceded its being burned in the airspace of the courtyard, for if it had been burned in the courtyard first, in principle, from the beginning, it was being tossed into the fire, and she is not divorced.
אמר לו בעל חובו זרוק לי חובי. בגמרא מוקמינן לה באומר זרוק לי חובי בתורת גטין, דכיון דא״ל הכי הוה ליה לחוב זה דין גט, ואם זרק אותו הלוה קרוב למלוה ואבד, זכה הלוה ואינו חייב לשלם. ואם קרוב ללוה, הלוה חייב וכו׳. אבל אם אמר לו זרוק לי חובי והפטר, מכיון שזרקו לו בכל ענין, פטור:
לאויר הגג. לפחות משלשה סמוך לקרקעית הגג, דכלבוד דמי:
מרשות הגג. יצא ממחיצת הגג ונכנס לתוך מחיצת המקום שהיא עומדת בו:
או נשרף הרי זו מגורשת. והוא שקדמה זריקת הגט בחצר קודם שתהא הדליקה באויר החצר. שאם היתה הדליקה בחצר תחלה, מעיקרא לשריפה קאזיל ואינה מגורשת:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

או שמצאתו מאחוריו – the Jewish bill of divorce was on his back and he curved his back towards her so that she could take it.
אינו גט עד שיאמר טלי גטך – and he said [to her]: “take your Jewish bill of divorce,” however, it is a Jewish bill of divorce. But if the Jewish bill of divorce was on the ground, or on his back or or his body and he did not curve his back nor presented his body to her in order that she could take it, even if he said: “take your Jewish bill of divorce,” it is not a Jewish bill of divorce.
קוראה והרי היא גיטה – and when she reads through it, he sees that it is her Jewish bill of divorce.
קרוב לה מגורשת, קרוב לו אינה מגורשת – All the while that she is able to guard it, and he is unable to guard it, this is what is “close to her,” and all that she is unable to guard, but he is able to guard, it is “close to him.” Both of them are able to guard it or both of them are unable to guard it, this is half-and-half, and regarding a Halakhic decision, she is not divorced until the Jewish bill of divorce reaches her hand or her domain.
