I agree. Now in thinking about the new choice, I thought to myself, "when can one have a succeeding spot on a free kick that goes OOB untouched by R?" Answer: if there was first touching by K and then it goes out of bounds. Then R can choose to have the ball at the spot of first touching (the succeeding spot) and tack on 5 yards from there. Make sense?
