A good genie would instantly invent a metric of “number of degrees in excess of room temperature”

It’s a room made from platinum-iridium, and kept in a triple-locked vault at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in France.

I think it’s fairly well known that there are no good genies. But otherwise, true.

For a present, I think it would be fun to have a contract lawyer draft up an ironclad 3 wishes contract

First wish, a lawyer who specializes in genie law. Unfortunately, the lawyer draws up a contract that screws you out of most of your wishes, not because of the genie’s influence, but because they’re a lawyer.

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. But to be truly ironclad, would you need a genie lawyer? Like not a lawyer who specialized in Genie Law, but an actual genie?

The indoor temperature is always at room temperature and vice versa. It’s not constant though.
