  1. granted you become a bland uninteresting "robot" human. i wish to have better things to do with my time.
  2. i wish balanced ternary computers to become in popular use, and i have one.
  3. granted, its the wish you don't make. granted, this includes a strong desire to teleport into the middle of a black hole. granted, you are given the desire for nothing, which you obtain. granted, you do so by cheating, which is revealed by your teacher in front of everyone.
  4. granted, though no kid understands it, and has to repeat kindergarten several times. i wish education was much more enjoyable and thorough.
  5. quite simply log base 10 of 7 / log base 10 of 3 = log base 3 of 7.
  6. do a Google search for slide rule. its a mechanism of calculating division and multiplication quickly (reduces it to addition subtraction.)
  7. it's been several days and it looks like no one is gonna attempt this so i'll just post the solution.
  8. granted, but it can only take you forward in time 15 minutes. i wish everyone would settle on a pronunciation of tomato and potato, thus ruining that song.
  9. granted from now on illogical genies exist, that grant wishes in weird incomprehensible ways. i wish i was an illogical genie.
  10. granted. the answer is yes, his name is cathulu, the eater of arguments, and can't provide you with a proof of his existence. i wish to know how to prove the reimann hypothesis is a way that is acceptable to the mathematical community.
  11. granted, as a result you often find yourself speaking other languages involuntarily to people. i wish for virtue.
  12. so here's my idea of "fun". a balanced ternary slide rule! i can't imagine what use it would be, unless you find yourself needing to do multiplication in balanced ternary.

  14. granted, the only challenge for you now is death, therefore... i wish for control of electricity, and it couldn't harm me.
  15. granted, there is only 1 day a week, and it is Saturday, alas you still have to work 8 hours a day, and 5 out of 7 days. or conversely the exact same Saturday keeps repeating for you. i wish to discover my purpose in life, and it would be something positive.
  16. granted, its fully functional, but plays like crap. i wish for a nice nap that lasts 30 minutes.
  17. granted, i really want to twist this one but its sufficiently awesome non-standard wish. congrats! i wish to be able to manufacture and sell fully functional light sabers at a cost of about 200 dollars a sabre, and still make a profit.
  18. granted, but as it's not finished, its crappy as all heck. i wish pizza was twice as tasty and and half as bad for you.
  19. okay how about this, your body is dead but you are still conscious, your existence consists of staring up at wooden board till the end of time. to yoruichan: granted you get a note describing your imminent death in all the gory details. i wish for something different.
  20. granted, and he logically deduces a murder leading to you as a primary suspect. okay super -powers eh? i wish for the ability to control luck.
  21. not sure if it's been posted before but this is an interesting little puzzle. the game of nim has very basic rules. you start off with a pile of pennies, and separate them into several usually uneven stacks. (they don't have to be uneven, but for the most part are.) you can take as many pennies as you desire form any particular stack. you cannot however take from more than 1 stack. and you must always take at least 1 penny. the object of the game is to leave your opponent with only 1 penny left. whoever takes the last penny loses. can you come up with a general winning strategy?

  23. granted, you're so intelligent, you're severely autistic, and have trouble performing normal functions such as dressing yourself, showering, and tying your show laces. calculating the square root of 2 to a million decimal places, no problem, you do that in your sleep. i wish to be wealthy.
