Genie is being lazy and interprets that as: Add one electron to the universe, and attach it to any of the atoms available.

That's not Interpretation, that a whole different thing.

I disagree. They asked to add an additional election to all the atoms, not each atom, so the genie could interpret it as adding a single electron to the universe.

Add one extra electron to all the atoms in the universe -- adds one electron to all the atoms but not one each for each atom

Edit: typo,typo2

Gotcha.

PS: you still have a "melectron" in there :D

Damn seems like I can only find one typo at a time

[–] Midnitte@beehaw.org 13 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Genie interprets as "every atom now shares this one extra electron"

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't there a theory that there's only one electron or something?

Suddenly quantum entanglement

If we're all entangled, is anyone?
