I really like this answer! 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?

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.

No. Nothing like that. 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!
