From a set of playing cards, Tessa took 24 cards consisting of three each of the aces, twos, threes, and so on up to the eights. She placed the cards face up in single row and decided to arrange them such that the three twos were each separated by two cards, the threes were separated by three cards and so forth up to and including the eights, duly separated by eight cards. The three aces were numbered with a one and were each separated by nine cards. Counting from the left, the seventh card in the row was a seven.
In left to right order, what were the numbers on the first six cards?
