Mark · Accepted Answer

554 is not the right answer. Because that would assume the TVs could be split into pieces to fit all the space. You will need to figure out how many boxes you can fit in each direction. Then multiply that put. Assuming you could flip the TV boxes in any direction...the most you could fit would be 6x14x6. Or 504.
