If something came to me claiming to be Omega, I wouldn't have a good way of judging whether to believe it.
If I saw a reason to think about Omega problems, I would push back against the way I visualize the situation.
As it is, I've just got more sympathy with a friend who had problems with math because she'd overthink word problems.
What do yuo mean with "Omega"? E.g. Chaitin's Omega or large cardinals do not fit the remarks.
http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Omega
A being with the ability to predict the future with 100% (or near) accuracy and with arbitrarily-large power. LessWrongian for 'God', to a first approximation.
He also is not malicious and/or doesn't lie, which combined with his infallibility means you can trust whatever he tells you.
