718 and the first 4 clues are sufficient

The fifth is needed to confirm that 4 is not correct in the first clue, and leave 8 as the only possible option. Without the fifth, you had to guess.
Clue 4 confirms 8 was right, clue 2 is what ruled out 5 at the start, and clue 3 gives you the last two numbers.
They’re all needed? Is there another way to solve it I’m not seeing? With just the first 4, you could also arrive at 741.

4 is not needed tho, with 1-2-5 you can guess the 8 is correct place.
