Box puzzles

The box-based arrangements different and new concept in puzzles. In this arrangements a given number of boxes are placed as one above another. It is different from floor-based puzzles as in floor-based arrangements the order of floors or sequence of floors is fixed such as generally ground floor number 1 and top will be highest one while but in box puzzles the boxes are arranged as one above the another on the shelves or according their positions but there is no sequence for their arrangements as they are arranged randomly one above another. In these puzzles along with boxes other elements also can be given in the data so according to give clues and conditions final arrangements be made boxes with other given elements.
