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 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.
