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

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: White; 7: Brown; 6: Orange; 5: Purple; 4: Black; 3: Blue; 2: Green; 1: Yellow
Verification: Box Orange is on F6 and Box Green is on F2. The boxes between are on F5, F4, F3 (3 boxes).
