- There are exactly four boxes between Box Purple and Box Brown.
- Box Green is kept immediately below Box Brown.

Floor Puzzle Strategy: Vertical Stack
Floors are 8 (Top) to 1 (Bottom). Start with definite positions: Box A on F8.
Use the 'four boxes between' clue to fix positions of B and F.
Use the adjacent clue (Box G immediately below Box F) to fix the remaining positions.
The final arrangement (Floor: Box) is:
8: Blue; 7: Purple; 6: Black; 5: Pink; 4: Yellow; 3: Brown; 2: Green; 1: Orange
Verification: Box Black is on F6 and Box Green is on F2. The boxes between are on F5, F4, F3 (3 boxes).
