   	So you can't wish for the same things? I would presume that multiple   
   people choosing the same wish would also be an interesting data point.   
      
   	In my case, I've had to think a ***LOT*** about wishes -- both mine and   
   other peoples' -- in many different scenarios, so the very first thing   
   I'd do in such a scenario myself is to do my best to ascertain the   
   details OF that scenario before I actually made any wishes. If I   
   couldn't do that, I would probably reluctantly either make no wish at   
   all, or -- if I had to make them -- try for the simplest and   
   least-demanding wish of all, because in no way, shape, or form am I   
   taking a chance on making major wishes with a possible Jackass Genie   
   involved.
