A boy goes and buys a one-piece fishing pole that is 6' 3" long. As he goes to get on the bus, the bus driver tells him that he can't take anything on the bus longer than 6'.
The boy goes back to town, buys one more thing, and the bus driver allows him on the bus.
He did not damage the fishing pole in any way.
What did he buy, and what did he do with it?

There is a difference. You make the mistake of only considering the box, but the bus driver said he can't take ANYTHING longer than 6' on the bus. A diagonal of a box is a thing.
