Couldn’t you just use the first two wishes for immortality and omnipotence and then wish the gene into an infinite loop or something?
Doesn’t work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.
Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.
Don’t fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he’s got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.
Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it’s already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.
I wonder if genies are subject to numerical integer underflow.
They can be. If you wish for it.
Not enough wishes or wait if you make a 4th wish does it overflow to -2,147,483,648?
