Are we doing the notecards again for next week's exam?

If you have a 3-dimensional square well, and you systematically push in all sides of the square well till it is extremely small… ultimately only the size of the particle - what happens to the particle? How is uncertainty preserved? Would it be that… you've enclosed the particle, so you know exactly where it is, but you ahve absolutely no idea about it's momentum? but… wouldn't it's momentum be known since it's confined to a box? or is it that the box itself is now so small that it now has its own uncertainty? What if while we shrink it we know exactly where it is?
