There are eight boxes which are colored with different colors – Black, Blue, Red, Green, White, Pink, Violet and Orange. They are placed one above the other and contain different items that are to be donated in the orphanage – books, notebooks, pencils, toys, board games, jeans, t-shirts, shorts, jackets, hats, rain coats, shoes, belts, bags, sports equipment and toiletries such that each box contains two items but not necessarily in the same order.

T-shirts and shoes box is immediately above the box which contains jeans and shorts and both these boxes are above the 5th box from the top. White box is fourth from the top.
