Sorry bout that. In Acts 2:25 Peter quotes David (from Psalm 16:10) where he speaks about the Christ saying His soul would not be left in hell.
David himself is dead and buried, vs 29.
Christ soul not left in hell, vs.31.
David not in heaven, vs 34.
Where was Christ during the three days in the light of the above? Paradise, hell, heaven, tomb?

"In Acts 2:25 Peter quotes David (from Psalm 16:10) where he speaks about the Christ saying His soul would not be left in hell."

Acts 2:25, "David said about him:
" 'I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

Nothing about God being in hell here.

Psalm 16:10, " because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay."

Nothing about God being in Hell here either.

David himself is dead and buried, vs 29."

Nothing about David, or anyone else being in hell here. Acts 2:29, "Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day."

"David not in heaven, vs 34."

Acts 2:34, "For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand

Obviously David wasn't dead yet, because he wrote this and went on writing. Nevertheless, it has nothing to do with anyone being, or having been in hell. It indicates that Jesus is God, since only God can be His own right hand man, and only God is the Person of the Holy Spirit, and David was given that while alive. It is the same plurality that's found in Gen 1:29, when God identifies the Person whose image and likeness man is in, and in Gen 3:22 where God IDs man as knowing good and evil. In those passages God refers to Himself as us.

"Where was Christ during the three days in the light of the above? Paradise, hell, heaven, tomb?

None of the above addresses that. Paradise is Heaven. A tomb is simply a place to place a dead body, one that is incapable of functioning as the living machinery that supports the spirit, as in post 60. The spirit does not reside in a grave. The following tells exactly where God's Spirit went. Luke 23:43
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." God's Spirit would be in no other place, but in His own place and in His own Temple. That Temple was destroyed on the cross, but not His Spirit. The Temple was raised by Him in 3 days, as per John 2:19, "Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."
