If you had half a wish

[Archbob]

If a cheapskate magical genie offered you half of a wish, what would you wish for?

Only half of it will come true, but he doesn't tell you which half.

 

[Hygro]

something that couldn't go too awry....

 

[hangman]

I would wish for world double-peace.

 

[Archbob]

The genie could give you a double McChicken instead.

 

[BirraImperial]

I would wish for 2 billion Dollars, so I would get half as much...

Doesn't work that way. He'll give you 2 billion, but it could be 2 billion acorns.

 

[warpus]

I would wish for 4 billion acorns.

 

[hangman]

I would wish for 4 billion acorns.

You get one acorn

 

[Smote]

I'd videotape the genie and stall as long as possible. I would then wish for 10 generous genies that will grant me additional wishes to appear.

Doesn't work that way. He'll give you 2 billion, but it could be 2 billion acorns.

Or he could give you 200 billion half pennies dropped on your head(250 million tonnes). You have to be careful what you wish for.

You have a funny definition for half, OP.

 

[Civ'ed]

I'd like to wish for world
Not world peace, becasue I'm going for half a wish here.

One million dollars OR two million dollars.

The OR mean it has to be one or the other. If he gives me one million acorns, then he is breaking his own rules by only making a quarter of the wish come true.

I like it, it's fun.

One million dollars OR two million dollars.

The OR mean it has to be one or the other. If he gives me one million acorns, then he is breaking his own rules by only making a quarter of the wish come true.

He could give you one or two dollars. That's exactly half of what you wished for, in words.

I'd wish for "one neutral thing". "Neutral" as in "neither good nor bad". EDIT: WAIT!!!!! He doesn't do the opposite does he, he just does something that isn't one of those words!!! So that won't work...

FINE I'll wish for "one awesome thing" and then even if he gives me something crap there's only one of them.

I would wish for Romney to win the Presidential election in 2016 AND 2020.

 

[warpus]

That would lead to Romney winning the Miss Alabama pageant in 2016 and 2020.

 

[Perfection]

I'm hungry, so I'll wish for Condoleezza Rice.

 

[bhsup]

That would lead to Romney winning the Miss Alabama pageant in 2016 and 2020.

Thought I had covered my bases! Thanks for the laugh, Warpus. Course, he could legitimately win that on his own anyway. Well, at least the talent competition...
