It's not that difficult, as long as you assume really outlandish and arbitrary things aren't included (for instance, if the fairy gives you your £10,000,000 but also gives you cancer, that would just be cheating).Scarim Coral said:That's the thing. If I make a wish for the fairy to NOT screw me over than I had wasted my one wish. Also trying to come up with a logical wish that has little to none repercussions created by the fairy or not would be a painstaking to think of.Rowan93 said:Well, yeah, that's kind of the point, you're supposed to come up with ways to avoid being screwed over. And you're not just going to lose access to the account, the government is looking to have a word with you about that money, you have a few years behind bars to look forward to (either tax reasons, or money-laundering reasons, or both).Scarim Coral said:I would wish for £10 million within my bank. Still I wouldn't trust the fairy since she can twist my wish in that while it does goes into my account but suddently I can no longer access to my account for whatever reasons.
Actually what would happen if I wish the fairy to have freedom (or just no longer need to give out a wish and the fairy does whatever he/ she want)? Well assuming the fairy is forced to give out a wish or is this fairy is going it on his/ her free will?
As for the wish-granter's reasons, I generally assume the wish is more or less in good faith, but people who try to exploit it by wishing for more wishes in some way are going to be thoroughly fucked. Also, if there's a possible interpretation of the wish that the wish-granter might just get confused about, or decide to do because it's easier or something, you should also attempt to rule those out.
Obviously in my actual post I was more or less ignoring those principles, and screwing up everyone's wishes, but quite a few of them did/do have flaws that needed to be pointed out.
