So: A genie pops up and says, "You have one wish left."
What do you wish for? Because presumably the giftwrapped FAI didn't work so great.
"I wish to know what went wrong with my first wish."
This way, I at least end up with improved knowledge of what to avoid in the future.
Alternatively, "I wish for a magical map, which shows me, in real time, the location of every trapped genie and other potential source of wishes in the world." Depending on how many there are, I can potentially get a lot more feedback that way.
