Title: Even more boxes!
Post by alien2 on Jun 15^th, 2019, 4:13pm

A man enters a room and says: “There is one box in the room.” A moment later another man enters the room and says: “There are two boxes in the room.” A few seconds later a third man enters the room and says: “There are three boxes in the room.” All their statements were right. How’s this possible?!

They are the famous Box brothers.

I accept Your answer.

It is not the intended answer though, which concerns "boxes", as such, alone.

They are named the Box brothers because, well, they are brothers and they always carry a little box with them.
Most oddly, wherever they go, they like to draw everybody's attention to the box they carry.

I didn't know that. Live and learn. Yes! Your answer is the expected one.
