    Pfft, too easy. Good twin: “I wish the evil twin wouldn’t _____ (something bad)” Bad twin’s wish cancels it out, and something bad happens to him.

    How would the evil twin know his brother’s wish? We were told never to tell your wish or it wouldn’t come true.

    The good twin wishes that his brother will not get a severe headache today. Poetic justice.

    Of course, whatever entity grants wishes can’t grant both, and who’s more likely to win favor?

    Surely we all know that the wish-genie doesn’t accept meta-wishes such as “three more wishes” or “the opposite of what he wished for”. Though if it did, wisher #1, who surely knows his twin should wish for something whose opposite is as good or better. Hmm. “I wish for a million dollars worth of coins for him and a million dollars worth of paper currency for me” maybe.

    Of course this does assume that there is a wish-genie. Who is present and active.

    This explains so much. I didn’t know that I had an evil twin, but I must.

    I wish that you both don’t drop dead.

    but what if the good twin wishes something bad on himself, or something good for the evil twin?
