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?
