Therefore, I, alien2, proclaim You, towr, the winner of this riddle. Mazel tov!   However, the intended answer remains unsolved, for now, where you (a riddler who desires to take a stab at it) have a principal and also the only role. If you want to do something right do it yourself, eh? « Last Edit: Oct 17th, 2019, 1:13pm by alien2 » IP Logged alien2 Uberpuzzler     Gender: Posts: 6986 Re: Box: A Mystery   « Reply #3 on: Oct 21st, 2019, 12:27pm » Quote Modify I used certain, a bit illusive, words, in order to describe the box in a particular way and state. There, somewhere, is the catch. First impression is not always right.

You needn't use a thing.   How would you describe "a box you cannot open"? No SF here or an incomprehensible act of God. The century is 21st, the time is now, so - - - go, go, go! I await and anticipate the correct answer.     Still, perhaps the wording is a bit clumsy and misleading? Well, excuse you me!     NOT EVERYTHING IS AS IT SEEMS!
