Answer 6

This is what I came up with. If you do random_num = list then random_num no longer takes random values in the range(0, 3). It is a list now... So just keep it the way it is and for a random_num generated get the corresponding element in the list... I tested it entering hey several times and it kept giving me something random from the list

You can use the list within the If statement and random.choice to select one item. So the Code becomes shorter and more clear:
