Most whole numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive whole numbers. For example, 35=17+18, 36=11+12+13, and 40=6+7+8+9+10.

I have written down two whole numbers. Between them they use each of the digits 0 to 9 exactly once. But neither of the numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive whole numbers.

What are my two numbers?
