Nethack, a game from 1984, will parse these wishes as wishing for nothing.
I mean that makes sense…. On the second iteration, you skip the first wish, the second wish is to ignore the third wish and that gets granted and the third wish is nullified, so the only wish is to ignore the third wish. “Nothing”
You don’t need to loop again as everything is satisfied?
Moria: “your prayer angers the god of destruction and your equipment turns to dust. you hear a growing voice in your head: “THOU ART A PEST”
The geenie works through one wish at a time so when he gets to the third wish the first one has already been granted and ignoring it doesn't retroactively change anything.
This just feels like a bad idea. The fourth panel is actually the person stuck in a pocket dimension as time moves forward and they are unable to move due to the loop.
Make a very serious acknowledgment of the first wish without granting it and win?
After the last wish the genie in the bottle said: "Look, there are 3 rules..."
Does not compute.... does not compute.... does not compute...
He didnt say "i wish"
stack overflow (too much recursion)
