Solution Comment 2 of 2 |

7 is not a part of number considering evaluation of 8147 and 9687. 6 is not a possibility due to 3609 and 9687. 9, 8 are definite and other numbers are 1/4 and 0/3. From 6253 and 2571 evaluation 3 and 1 are confirmed. So the numbers are 9 8 3 and 1 and correct code is 9381.
