Lets assume that genies grant wishes literally, but will twist your words. How do you wish without unintended consequences? Typical rules of no more wishes, no resurrection, no forced love, no altering the past, can't defy logic, can't break physical laws, can't create paradoxes, and can't affect higher powers (this is one tough genie!).

Thinking about it some more:

  1. this is why i used 'works to maximize', which is an imperfect state, and allows everyone to take steps without being crippled.
  2. i dont get how i can discover FTL in a blackhole, when im currently on earth... are you saying that the genie makes a ship without FTL, moves that ship to a black hole, and then teleports me there, allowing me to solve the day?
  3. comment stands, im ok if gods end up in the after life too. its not a bad place to wind down your life.
