Comment (by arma):

 I originally had suggested 'b' as the right answer.

 But from looking at 'c', I wonder how bad it is for different hidden
 services to choose different numbers. Maybe somebody who operates six
 services will choose the same number for each, thus somehow giving
 something away? Now I wonder if maybe we want a simple boolean, "use the
 default three" vs "use the more scalable ten" and have done with it.

 I guess that question leads to a deeper question: is ten actually more
 scalable in any meaningful way than three?
