test: how many newlines are required to let indent create a "box"?

box-1: it seems not to be possible to start with a box without having a line with text before the box. because empty lines between this box and the start will be deleted automatically. line below

line above box0: no empty line between this box and the lines below and above. line below

line above

box1: only one empty line between this box and the line above.

line below

line above box2: only one empty line between this box and the line below.

line below

line above

box3: one empty line between this box and the line above and one between this box and the line below.

line below

conclusion: to create a "box" by using indent (4 spaces), before the box there has to be a line with text(even invisible, like ~) followed by an empty line.

final box: nothing below

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
