It won't be easy as you'll still have to guess the right thing, but you can probably make it work.
Only have to guess 10 times the number of digits though, quite doable for a lottery win!
Your poorly optimizing. With a linear search, you only need 9 per digit, a binary search will get it all done in like 4 or 5 guesses
I like your thinking, but a binary search would require us to know whether our guess is too high or low, no?
Which you can easily do. just try to say "The winning number ist lower than x"
Now thats some prompt engineering I can get behind! Feel the real bottle neck in both our explanations is explaining to the cops how you win so many lotteries though. That will be difficult without lying.
If you realy want to cause some real stir, crack the original satoshi bitcoin wallet. Should be a few billion $ in there and EVERY financial agency is watching it
Username checks out. I'd expect nothing less from the DC world's greatest detective.
You can make a random number generator and start reading the numbers, if you can say them, you are right, easy
I mean, with lotto numbers you could just start trying to count. Once you can say the number, you move on to the next one. Depending on how the wish works, you could even try just sounding things out.
but whatever I guess will be right.
No, no, no. You'll be blocked when you try to guess the wrong thing. You still have to try guessing on your won.
still not hard, the first number is [strained noise],[strained noise],[strained noise],[strained noise],4.
FOUR
The lottery numbers haven't been picked yet, so nothing would be correct until they get picked.
What if i say "next lottery numbers of [company that does it] [game name] will be ___ ___ ___ 7"?
That doesn't negate that they haven't been chosen yet, so there is no correct answer, and you won't be able to say any number at all for that statement. In fact, it may make you mute until the numbers are chosen as anything you say after that would be incorrect.
That depends on if everything is pre-determined or not, as well as if any are rigged (not that you could really benifit from rigged ones). No matter what you'd be good at poker.
will be.... impossible to know will be.... a sequence of numbers between 1 and 69
You could be compelled to say any number of unhelpful things instead of the numbers.
It's stil easy you just narrow down, "will be any number between 2 and 30" ok sure, "will be any number between 14 and 20", "will be 16 and 18" yep, it's def 17
You are assuming you'll even be allowed to utter specifc numbers at all.
Think a genie scenario would have you utterly blocked before the first syllable that could possibly be helpful.
That wouldn't make sense, like, you couldn't do a lot of things because od that...
We are talking about a genie here, not like they want to help you out (depending on the lore).
