Estimability with four linked expectations — identify the one genuinely non-estimable combination

y1,y2,y3,y4y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4 are four uncorrelated random variables with common variance σ2\sigma^2 and E(y1)=E(y2)=θ1+2θ2+θ3, E(y3)=E(y4)=θ1+θ3E(y_1)=E(y_2)=\theta_1+2\theta_2+\theta_3,\ E(y_3)=E(y_4)=\theta_1+\theta_3. Hence:
