Ah, the increasing difficulty level makes a difference. Though for purpose of proving skills, it seems you could just skip to the harder ones, even though that may not work well for training.
They are not monotonically harder, and they are not all the same exact skill being tested. So someone who has completed Project Euler problems 1-30 has done more to demonstrate her ability than someone who has only done Project Euler problem 30.
If your level is such that 30 represents your current challenge, then doing 1-29 won't take toooooo much time anyway. And you can still have fun trying to improve on the best solution offered so far for the problem -- there are multiple ways to solve a given Project Euler problem.
