Post subject:  djApe Sample Non-Consecutive
Finished this puzzle last night. I believe this is the first fully non-consecutive puzzle I have completed, although I have completed partially non-consecutive puzzles (with dividing lines) before. Once I grasped the concept of a fully non-consecutive, it was pretty easy, but an enjoyable puzzle and a nice change of pace, nonetheless.

Thanks enxio27 for posting this. A fun puzzle which was easily solved with 'paper and pencil' solving; no need to use candidates (what some people call pencil marks). It was possibly easier for me, because I've done HATMAN's NC Killers.

Solution: 
+-------+-------+-------+
| 5 7 1 | 3 6 2 | 9 4 8 |
| 2 4 8 | 5 9 7 | 1 6 3 |
| 6 9 3 | 8 4 1 | 7 2 5 |
+-------+-------+-------+
| 1 6 9 | 4 2 8 | 3 5 7 |
| 8 2 4 | 7 5 3 | 6 1 9 |
| 3 5 7 | 9 1 6 | 4 8 2 |
+-------+-------+-------+
| 9 1 5 | 2 7 4 | 8 3 6 |
| 4 8 2 | 6 3 9 | 5 7 1 |
| 7 3 6 | 1 8 5 | 2 9 4 |
+-------+-------+-------+

It was an easy puzzle, but I don't think I could have kept track of the non-consecutive part without pencil marks.

FWIW, I have taken to automatically printing puzzles (other than standard 9x9) with pencil marks. I suppose it's possible I may not need them for some puzzles, but most of the "easy" variant puzzles either are gone or I've already completed them.
