- There are exactly four boxes between Box Purple and Box White.
- Box Green is kept immediately below Box White.
- Box Pink is kept on an odd-numbered floor, but not floor 1.

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