Useless verifier? (# B4D JCH)

"All verifiers are useful" is a key rule in that game. So, could someone tell me how verifier D is useful in this game:

A says triangle is greater than circle. B says square is greater than both. C says all numbers are odd. So 3-5-1 is the only solution, and D does not add any more information. Right?

The solution is 353, not 351.

A tells you Blue=Purple, not Blue>Purple. So the solution could be 131, 151 or 353. D then rules out 131 and 151.

So we got:
b=p
y>bp
no evens

Which mean the solutions are 131, 151, 353.

With b+y>6, only one of those are remaining.

Alright, thanks. Game ended up in a tie and I didn't even realize that we didn't both win, but both lost. My bad.
