Difficulty: 4 of 5 Latest: A Cubed Divisor (in Just Math)
From A Squared Divisor we know for all natural numbers n>=2 that n^(n-1)-1 is divisible by (n-1)^2.

Prove that n=2 and n=3 are the only natural numbers such that n^(n-1)-1 is divisible by (n-1)^3.

You have five coins, apparently alike, but actually of different weights. You also have a two arm scale.

Can you manage to sort the coins in ascending order, using the scale only seven times?

Bonus question: can it be done in fewer weighings?
