If the weight of the bottom box is b then the weight of a stack of four boxes is b + b/2 + b/4 + b/8
= 8b/8 + 4b/8 + 2b/8 + 1b/8
= 15/8 b
A stack must weigh less than 100 pounds
15/8 b < 100
b < 100 x 8/15 = 53 1/3 pounds
If boxes have a minimum weight of 1 pound then
for stacks that contain 4 boxes the range of b is [8, 53 1/3)
and if stacks contain 1 to 4 boxes the range of b is [1, 53 1/3)
If the only restriction is a maximum of 100 then the range of b is [0, 53 1/3)
So all your doing is going 3 jumps to the positive side and 4 jumps to the negative side.
