Divisible (Posted on 2011-09-30) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Five single-digit positive integers appear in a sequence.

The sum of the first two is divisible by the second, but not by the first.
The sum of the first three is divisible by the third, but not by the first or the second.
The sum of the first four is divisible by the fourth, but not by the first, second or third.
The sum of the first five is divisible by the fifth, but not by the first, second, third or fourth.

What are the five integers, in order?
