Granted, at approx 4:03pm UTC/GMT +2 hours on the 6th of January 2083 a stray antelope is shot by poachers who are quite unaware that it is the re-incarnation of their great uncle.
I still wish that coherent Windows 8 was
Is it impossible to conclude that a request for rejection of a premise by a type B questioner is equivalent to the assertion of that premise by a truth teller? Are both myself and bonanova type B?
Granted, Being a class A narcotic I have also informed your local SWAT team
I wish that he will be hospitable to his "guests", who will be arriving in 20 seconds
The punchline is that there are only 2 blonde girls and the blind guy sitting around a circular bar
The 6 foot, black-belt bartender to the left of the blind guy
The bouncer/professional weightlifter and wrestler to the left of the first but to the right of the blind guy
Granted, To make sure that it will not be stolen I have made sure that only you will be able to drive it
To make sure that you cannot crash it I have permanently revoked your drivers licence.
I wish that this would be preferable to you as opposed to seconds after appearing in your garage it is stolen and crashed by a joyrider (which incidentally would also be an acceptable granting of your wish)
Granted, you are now all encased in carbonite. I wish I could charge a significant amount of money for each wish granted Edit:For those who do not know what Carbonite is http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Carbonite
Granted briefly, They quickly realised it was the wrong account and amended it. I hope, for your sake, you didn't spend any of it I wish that Phil has difficulty reading the genie rules again. Especially rule IV.
I believe two of the standard answers are A woodchuck would chuck wood all day if a woodchuck would chuck wood. and A woodchuck would chuck 1 quart of wood if a woodchuck would chuck wood.
Then the machine would not work unless God wills it to and we have no way of telling if it is working. All we can say is according to the machine this probably would happen if I hadn't used the machine. It also raises queries about fate and free-will depending if the machine is thought to be also able to predict the contents of the human mind.
If the machine predicted the future as if you have not used the machine there is no paradox. Even if the universe is deterministic however, the machine would have to account for every variable in the universe apart from itself. This limitation could be reduced if you only wanted to see a certain distance into the future and provided that nothing moves faster than the speed of light*. If you wanted to see the future in a years time and you knew every variable in the bubble 1 light year from the machine.
What is really going to bake your noodle is if the human brain already does this to a limited ability and how we could could tell if it did.
*Does God travel faster than light?
Granted as (1+1)/0 = 3/0 , if we apply algebra and multiply both sides by 0 we get 2=3 which is (1+1)= 3, unfortunately http://www.gonzotimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/divide3.jpg
I wish that oblivion would be nice this time of year
@flamebirde I guess so, as one could speculate that all previous incorruptible wishes have been corrupted and that their incorruptible wish might the first (provided the 3 of ours have all been corrupted). They will never know if it was first for certain however.
An unwashed Phil in his prime sorted logarithms for his new and improved ternary ruler.
@Phil Your exit from the ultimate in geekdom will probably start with a shower, and by no means should you watch an episode of Chuck.
Hang on, I wished for the incorruptible wish that all supposedly incorruptible wish would be corrupted.
Now this wish was granted by Phil meaning that he had to corrupt all incorruptible wishes including flamebirds and his own. This would mean that neither of you had the incorruptible wish.
It would all be well and good had not Phil corrupted my incorruptible wish in some inexplicable way. This is of neglecting the fact that as it was an incorruptible he needed to corrupt it as part of granting the wish thereby fulfilling the wish and making it incorruptible.
What all this means is that inexplicably we have no idea if any of the incorruptible wishes are any longer incorruptible or corrupted. I propose that all these wishes can be considered to be in both states simultaneously in which case there is no way to determine which incorruptible wish came first.
Granted, but as my last wish was non-granted Flambirds wish was not non-granted which means it was granted and that he obtained the incorruptible wish before you did.
I wish for the incorruptible wish that all wishes that were supposed to incorruptible would be corrupted.
