“If I wish for three more wishes, you will grant them with no catches.”
Keep doing this, over and over again, trying different strategies. It’s a way to test and validate genie loopholes (as you will be unable to state that if it’s wrong).
Though if the genie was smart, being “wrong” would be qualified to your own internal knowledge, I suppose. E.g. you can’t knowingly lie.
You attempt to do this, but you find yourself unable to say you have three wishes, as that would make you wrong.
And you will always be right.
I read this in Baldur’s gate narrator’s voice
I remember playing Baldur’s gate on the GameCube but I forget what that sounded like.
I read it in “the Stanly parable” voice
honestly, not a bad power.
“next week lottery numbers are _______”
“The best thing I can do with my life right now is ___________”
“next week lottery numbers are… impossible for me to know”
“the best thing I can do with my life right now is … something I wish I knew”
The curse can be stubbornly unhelpful no matter what.
It won’t be easy as you’ll still have to guess the right thing, but you can probably make it work.
Only have to guess 10 times the number of digits though, quite doable for a lottery win!
Username checks out. I’d expect nothing less from the DC world’s greatest detective.
Your poorly optimizing. With a linear search, you only need 9 per digit, a binary search will get it all done in like 4 or 5 guesses
I like your thinking, but a binary search would require us to know whether our guess is too high or low, no?
but whatever I guess will be right.
No, no, no. You’ll be blocked when you try to guess the wrong thing. You still have to try guessing on your won.
still not hard, the first number is [strained noise],[strained noise],[strained noise],[strained noise],4.
FOUR
The lottery numbers haven’t been picked yet, so nothing would be correct until they get picked.
