FMZ250 - A Global Puzzle II (Auckland) Mystery Cache

This is the 250th cache hide by the funkymunkyzone team. To celebrate, like our 150th cache, this is a puzzle that will take you (virtually at least) on another wee trip around the world and back to Auckland. Thank you to everyone who has found our caches, in New Zealand, Portugal, Australia, Thailand, Rarotonga and even China!

This cache is a magnetic micro (BYO pen) that can be found by solving the puzzle below. This shouldn't be too difficult and will take you on a journey through your computer to some of our favourite cache finds around the world.

Almost everyone remembers playing "mastermind" as a kid - that game where you have to guess a sequence of 4 coloured pegs, and the clues you get for each guess takes the form of black pegs indicating you have that many pegs in the right position and white pegs indicating you have the right coloured pegs, but in the wrong position. We'll be playing "mastermind" like that, but with cache coordinates*. Only the digits are used (the N/S, E/W are ignored and do not earn black or white pegs) and no indication will be given as to which numbers receive the black (right digit in right position) or white (right digit in wrong position) pegs - you have to figure that out - only the number of black and white pegs is given.

For the purposes of this puzzle, in case any of the caches are moved at some point in the future and their coordinates updated, use cache coordinates as at the date of publishing of this puzzle.

Use as many or as few of the above clues as you want. The puzzle can be solved fairly easily, using all of them, or for a bit more of a challenge try solving it without a couple of them!
