    To fulfill the third wish, the genie must ignore the first wish made.

    These were executed in serial, so the effects have already been committed. Ignoring the first wish at the end had no material effect, because it’s already been executed “flipping the second wish”.

    These commands would need to be actively looping before you encountered a runtime error. But the genie isn’t re-evaluating the wish stack after each wish.

      Yeah the wording on “ignore” is not the same as “undo all effects of” or “rollback my first wish”

      Even so, I think it’s still just a no-op at the cost of 3 wishes.
