let the five numbers be: a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5
The fourth number is the fifth number divided by three minus one
a4 = a5/3 - 1
The fifth number is the fourth number multiplied by three
a5 = 3a4
plug a5 = 3a4 into a4 = a5/3 - 1
a4 = (3a4)/3 - 1
a4 = a4 - 1
0 = -1
we get contradiction, there are no such numbers.
