Corrected entry: Iago asks why the 40 thieves were only after the staff at Aladdin's wedding. The Oracle appears and answers. Even though Iago didn't directly ask the Oracle why they were after the staff, she refused to answer his second question as she is bound by "the rule of one." However Aladdin later indirectly asks the Oracle, "My father is alive?" and is still permitted to ask the Oracle where his father is located.

Correction: Iago's question was an actual question to which he actually wanted an answer. Aladdin's "question" was merely a statement of incredulity. He had already been told his father was alive and was simply expressing his surprise.
