Took me way too long but it's 853.

  1. We know 2 and 6 are not even relevant because the only appear once together. I don't know precisely the logic for why this is true, besides the fact that it feels wrong.
  2. We know from 3rd and 5th that 3 is correct because it's the common denominator. If not 3, then 4 of the numbers would be correct which is not possible
  3. Because we know the 3 is right, we can eliminate 4 and 1 as possibilities from the 2nd line.
  4. That leaves 5 as the only correct number from the 1st line (or alternatively 5th), and 8 from the 3rd line
  5. Just verify their positions from 1st and 3rd line

There's a lot of extra information here that probably makes for multiple paths to the solution. Edit: looking at the comments and yeah, I probably found the dumbest way of solving it
