For step 2, set black as the default by altering the original mixin. By declaring the same mixin twice, you're actually overwriting the first one.

So you're third step is actually correct, but it's including the blank mixin.

/* Add default color here */
@mixin square($size, $color:black)
{
    height: $size;
    width: $size;
    border: 1px solid $color;
}
/* Delete this
@mixin square ($size, $color: black) {
  // rest of the code here
}
*/
.box {
    @include square(10px,red);
}
