Peter solves A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS SWEET. (He may have left out the second-to-last word, but it goes unnoticed.)
A big puzzle should call for a big prize, but these will do for Peter. He may have a David Winter cottage sculpture set, a Dyson vacuum cleaner, or a $1,000 paint voucher.
Peter picks the cottage set.
