I'm pretty sure that riddle was already used (a long time ago).
Spoiler:
Nothing
Are you sure you don't have anything else at hand?

Fine... I'll give you something longer if you want ~nya!

The answer to each clue is a single, 100-point word, or a word whose letters add up to 100, with a = 1, b = 2.

i. Peanut butter tastes like this.
ii. The hat a Dad wears.
iii. To fire a chef,
iv. A smart timepiece.
v. Figured it out again.
vi. Where a kid can sleep.
vii. The magical fruit leaves you doing this.
viii. Betrayed for this much silver.
ix. A baked good that is height challenged.
x. A sticky way to neaten your hair.

Good enough ~nya? ::)

Although it's easy to count the value of each letter, I think it'll be handy to have a table:
Spoiler:
A -  1
B -  2
C -  3
D -  4
E -  5
F -  6
G -  7
H -  8
I -  9
J - 10
K - 11
L - 12
M - 13
N - 14
O - 15
P - 16
Q - 17
R - 18
S - 19
T - 20
U - 21
V - 22
W - 23
X - 24
Y - 25
Z - 26
So, if the answer to #1 was STICKY, then that would be 19 + 20 + 9 + 3 + 11 + 25 = 87.  Obviously not correct.  :(

Wait...
Q: Peanut butter tastes like this.
A: Sticky.

That doesn't make sense -_-?
The most obvious answer would be PEANUTS, but that's only 96 points.

Holy crap, Kogorou returns! Finally! Don't you feel ashamed, missing my best BFR yet?
And I can't wait for August ;)
Spoiler:
The riddle's pretty vague. We can open the box from inside and get out. You didn't say it was locked or anything.
