Whelp. I've been doing that wrong.

My thought on reading this was: "HUH? How does "At every third attempt." translate to something different for the first set than for all subsequent sets?"

Here's how: First roll on skill 18, no penalty. Penalty applied on every third roll. Third roll in bold.

18,18,17,17,17,16,16,16,15,15,15,14,14,14,13

Numbers. Not always intuitive. I agree that it might have been a little more intuitive if the rule were "After every third attempt." That would result in a slightly more uniform array of sets of three.
