Another trick question ...
I want 1) A cheap cure for cancer, retroactive to one year prior to Roger Zelazny's death. None of this "5 years clear" bullshirt either. All gone, and gone for good. 2) Wealth for myself (and double wealth for Arthur Tolliver McScroggins, 14 Bombay Crescent, Shepherd's Bush may he rot in hell for all eternity for what he done to me the scurvy bilge-rat) 3) Health for me, and double health for that unspeakable swine who lives in Bombay Crescent and of whom has been oft said: "miserable git", may he be subject to premature cremation in a half-working oven....

Another trick question ...
Nice. It's just as well our wish-granter is not so stupid as to try to give them to your enemy at the same time. Come to that, maybe our wish-granter is going to get really, really peeved at you, since your wish is an attempt to kill it in the performance of its task.
