What is the nature of your obstacle? Is this some sort of clam-shell box that is hard to open? Is it a puzzler box that has a secret opening? Since I didn't get a box, I'm not sure what tack needs to be taken.If it is a physical obstacle, get out your tools. A set of hefty shears will get a clam-shell open without cutting off your thumb. Or you could just use Tannerite and a fast bullet. (Of course then you wouldn't know what was in the box, but it would be fun).If it is a mental puzzle, I would be suspicious of opening it at all because I think if it's really from Tim Hill, he would want you to open it.
