Let \(\Delta_k(n)\) be defined by \[ \sum^\infty_{n=0} \Delta_k(n) q^n= \prod^\infty_{n=1} {(1- q^{2n})(1- q^{(2k+1)n})\over (1-q^n)^3 (1- q^{(4k+2)n})}. \] \textit{G. E. Andrews} and \textit{P. Paule} [Acta Arith. 126, No. 3, 281--294 (2007; Zbl 1110.05010)] interpreted \(\Delta_k(n)\) as the number of broken \(k\)-diamond partitions of \(n\). Since then, several authors considered congruences satisfied by \(\Delta_k(n)\) for small values of \(k\). In the paper under review, the authors completely characterize the values of \(\Delta_3(8n+r)\) modulo 2 for \(r\in \{1,2,3,4,5,7\}\) and any value of \(n\geq 0\). They also conjecture that \(\Delta_3\) does not satisfy any Ramanujan-like congruences modulo 2 within any subprogression of \(8n\) or \(8n+6\). This is a generalization of \textit{M. V. Subbarao}'s conjecture for \(\Delta_3\) [Am. Math. Mon. 73, 851--854 (1966; Zbl 0173.01803)].
