    Lets say you just found a genie... You get your wishes, what would it be. Just tell me your first wish, and lets see if you would be able to get what you wish for. (Many idiots wish for something and then end up wishing it back to the way it was, so lets see if a bunch of programmers can do better)

        This is very true. "Need" or "deserve" are interchangeable in those cases...

            The one thing I've never seen in reality is paradox. So I wish the genie had never been a genie.

              You win. :badger: Your wish is granted. You win because the only true wish that can be granted with nothing bad is one that you (or anyone else) gain absolutely nothing from :cool: [modified the message type]

                              Well that's good. If there's no suffering then I'm not suffering through loneliness, or mourning the extinction of the human race etc. So everyone's happy. WIN

                                    Tell that to the genie, he will become mortal. Or should he? If he had never been a genie and is a thousand year old, he should become... But then who granted my wish? Yay, paradox. In math paradox is known as contradiction, it comes from assuming something that is false to be true or vice versa.

                                          Well the wish is granted. Nothing changed at all. Just before your 100th birthday you win the lottery and with it spent it on a palace with a gold swing, sitting upon the swing your lost child shows you his children, so you write up a will. That night you figure out it is all a lie but the will was already set up and swindler kills you and takes all your money.
