I'm a bit confused by this question. Unpredictability in auditing procedures? That doesn't seem like a standard requirement to me. I'll have to review my notes to see if I'm missing something.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The "show bob's hairy eyeball" command just doesn't make any sense, so that's got to be the option that won't be accepted.
