Abstract: We prove that the largest $Q_2$-free family of subsets of $[n]$ which contains sets of at most three different sizes has at most $(3+2sqrt3)N/3+o(N)approx2.1547N+o(N)$ members, where $N=nchooselfloorn/2floor$. This improves an earlier bound of $2.207N+o(N)$ by Axenovich, Manske, and Martin.
