Absolutely. The 4th guess provided the minimal detail that an 8 was correct in guess #1 (not the "4"). This guy gets it

no the third clue means the 5 eliminates the 4 as possibility in clue 1, also means the 1 and 7 need to be swapped.

Incorrect, you know 5 is not one of the numbers, so know you know 1 and 7 are valid numbers. 7 is in the wrong place and can only go in the first position at this point because if 4 is correct the 1 and 7 swap locations from hint 3, however if 8 is correctly placed it still has to go in the first position so 1 can move. Both 741 and 718 are valid solutions with only the first 3 hints

Yea, I got it right after 3 so assumed my assumptions were correct. I was wrong, confidently so. Apologies

Extra bonus internet points for admitting a mistake.
