"11" is a phonetic pun representation of "elven" men, and elves are too short to reach the pears on the tree, so each man trys, and fails leaving pears still on the tree when all have passed? ...im still working out the kinks in my theory.

As each man passes the tree he passes off the pear that the 1st man picked to the next guy.

There must have been 23 pears before they started picking.
