I was reading the forum and I found this statement in https://projecteuler.net/about=private_locked

When people simply enter one answer after another in succession to several problems, they are not using Project Euler in the way it was intended ...

Yikes! My account is public, but all i have been doing is answering one question after another. I want to solve the first 100 and that seemed a fine way to go about it. Are we required to mix up the order? Why?

That is certainly not what was meant by that paragraph, but you are right. It could be interpreted that way. I can assure you that your account is in perfect standing! And to clarify what was meant, I have modified it to the following:

When people mindlessly enter one answer after another in rapid succession, it is clear that they have obtained their answers from another source. They are neither using Project Euler in the way it was intended, nor are they showing respect for the time and care taken to curate each problem...

Ahh, rapid succession. That makes sense now. Luckily, I don't suffer from the problem of solving these things too quickly
