Looks like my image in the previous post is sometimes not showing, or is that just me?

Anyway couldn't get further with that so looking at a completely different part now.

:
A9539 \\
B2919 /\\
C4882 /\
D4627 \
E6758 \
F???? ////
I think this could be a puzzle like the mastermind game, also called cows and bulls apparently. In this case I think a \ means there is a correct number but in the wrong position, and a / means there is a number in the correct position. Using this logic I have worked out F8992. I have to go to work now so I haven't tested this on the other puzzle in the source code.

EDIT:
Really should be at work but had to test the theory on the second puzzle, this one
:
A5989 \\
B5176 \
C2863 \
D2558 //\
E3413 \
F???? ////
It works here too so I think I'm right, the solution to this one is F8554.

Edited: corrected the answer to the second puzzle
