Digits 1-9 (Posted on 2002-06-05)

Can you arrange the digits 1-9 in any order so that:

The number formed by the first two digits is divisible by 2.

The number formed by the first three digits is divisible by 3.

The number formed by the first four digits is divisible by 4

and so on up to nine digits...

Actually, I must admit that I didn't spot that Position 8 must be "2" or "6" - I only noticed that for Position 4... But I've solved this puzzle before and remembered that the solution began with a "3", which helped me narrow down the search... ;-)
