D=3B
C=E+4
F>A
A>G
A+G>F
-
D is either 3 or 6.
B is either 1 or 2
C is either 5, 6 or 7.
F is either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
E is either 1 or 2
G is either 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Since B and E must be either 1 or 2, F and G cannot be 1 or 2.
D is either 3 or 6.
C is either 5, 6 or 7.
F is either 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
G is either 3, 4, 5, or 6.
If we say E is 2 and B is 1, then C is 6, and D is 3.
D is 3.
B is 1
C is 6
F is either 4, 5 or 7.
E is 2
G is either 4 or 5.
Since F>A, A>G, and A+G>F then F must be 7, A must be 5 and G must be 4.
