Haha, this is a piece of cake! B) Error condition formula and C) Error message location are the obvious choices. And don't worry, if you get it wrong, you can always blame it on the 'Northern Trail Outfitters' curse.

Ooh, I know this one! B) Error condition formula and C) Error message location are definitely the way to go. And don't forget D) Rule active date - gotta make sure that validation rule is ready to go when you need it!

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Shouldn't the administrator also be using A) Formula return type? I mean, how else are they going to define the condition for the validation rule?
