    I’d say so.

    Although I still think it’s weird that “consecutive” became a requirement.

    Edit: Not implying blame for OP about the requirement. But colloquially it does mean consecutive, and I think that’s a little strange. Probably a weird etymology rabbit hole to look at sometime.

      Good question. Not sure why my brain went there. Generally speaking, growing up when someone used the term “in a row” they usually did mean consecutively. I can’t think of a time someone said 3 days in a row and they were not back to back days. Reading it now it does sound repetitive for me to have phrased it that way. Maybe my brain wanted to be specific for non English speakers? It was late at night.
