#2And the original is apparently still unsolved! Too bad.

#3I found the box described in the fourth installment in the series [0] most interesting.
In the first 3 installments, he speaks of the original box he made for some friends as a wedding gift. It will only open when the GPS detects that it's on a particular island, at which point they get the goodies inside. The box in installment #4 is based on the original, but with the intent of being reused or regifted. It has a USB port that, with the proper password, allows it to be reprogrammed to open at a new location.
It would be tempting to put a USB drive containing the software for reprogramming the box inside the container, and ask that it be passed on with a new gift once the first person has figured it out. It could be a gift that keeps on giving!

#5Fantastic adventure game! You can't take that thing on a plane, that's for certain. The inventor talks about disassembling the box but what if you were the recipient of a closed box? He talks about that too... Basically set the coordinates within non-flying distance.
Coca-Cola did something like this a while back, http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8.... They created a bunch of gps enabled coke cans and randomly distributed them. I heard about it through some aviation/counter terrorism security site that highlighted a study done by some three letter agency on the device for security purposes.
