The idea of the challenge is that each challenge builds off each other. If I pass the first challenge, the second challenge is easier (meaning I'm more likely to pass) which could give me another bonus for the final challenge.

Further if I fail the challenge, it makes it harder to pass the second, and if I fail that one, then I'll have problems on the final challenge.

That said, the golden rule is use the system as a framework. Feel free to try a complex skill challenge that has compounded results. Just note that every +1/-1 can actually have a pretty decent effect.
