Linguist Lock-Box (item idea)

Here's one for you DM's that want a loot box that can only be open through a Multilanguage puzzle.

Appearance: A tall box that has multiple types of text on it. If this text is read correctly the box will glow with a blue light.

Description: This box, made by a linguist, allows all of those who can speak at least 5 different languages. It doesn't mater which 5 languages they speak, as long as it's on in the players manual (or one the dm made up) it will be somewhere on the side of the box. To open this box correctly all 5 text reads must be within 10 seconds of each other!

Attribute: Contains loot, if the player can figure out the linguist puzzle.

"James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher"

If you don't understand... (don't worry, I didn't get it at first, either!)

It refers to two students, James and John, and their answers to an English test, concerning a man who, in the past, had a cold:

John wrote "The man had a cold" which is incorrect grammatically,

James wrote "The man had had a cold" which is correct grammatically.

Since James' answer was right, it had had a better effect on the teacher, thus the sentence.

James, while John had had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
