Whatever deity you believe in (or if you're an atheist, God) has declared that you'll be dead in 24 hours no matter what you do. It/they have also decreed that you get one wish and a request.

What are they?

Your wish can be anything, but God will still kill you when your 24 hours are up. Your request is something that could feasibly be provided to you within the time-span.


Me, I'd go the memorable way:

I'd request a bottle of water and some comfy shoes, then I'd just go for a walk. And wish that there'd be glorious sunshine across the entire globe, but also light rain. As if the heavens had been lit as a beacon to my lost soul, and as if the Earth were weeping at my loss.


Beat that!

What an odd set of circumstances. This is probably one of those where you'd have to play it by ear.


Near as I can guess... I'd go for the Truth. 24 hours' worth of it, straight from the horses' mouth, as it were. I make no assumptions as to the existence of some sort of bizarre life after death, whether there's an all-powerful entity or not, so that'd be worth it. Don't know what exactly you're angling at for "request"- a wish that wouldn't get fulfilled? Oh, great.

[color=66ff00]I think 'the ultimate question' is probably not the best title for this enquiry...

Sure it is."What's your last request before being brutally consumed by divine fire?", is about as ultimate as you can get.

Personally, I prefer ultimate questions more along the lines of "Hey, what's this button do?"

 
i'd wish that that devine entity never existed.

right, an0n. You have a poetic soul. It's a strange world.

I've got to ponder this question a bit.

When I graduate, I'm going to be a doctor, and people are going to come to me looking for treatment and prescription drugs, and I'm going to give it to them. Is anyone scared yet?

Id wish for the power of god for that next 24 hours.  I could have fun, help out the world and make it so that I was able to live that 24 hours over and over again.
