| 5 | +<div class="elfjS" data-track-load="description_content"><p>You have a cubic storeroom where the width, length, and height of the room are all equal to <code>n</code> units. You are asked to place <code>n</code> boxes in this room where each box is a cube of unit side length. There are however some rules to placing the boxes:</p> |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +<ul> |
| 8 | + <li>You can place the boxes anywhere on the floor.</li> |
| 9 | + <li>If box <code>x</code> is placed on top of the box <code>y</code>, then each side of the four vertical sides of the box <code>y</code> <strong>must</strong> either be adjacent to another box or to a wall.</li> |
| 10 | +</ul> |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +<p>Given an integer <code>n</code>, return<em> the <strong>minimum</strong> possible number of boxes touching the floor.</em></p> |
