Hello,

although (planet soegaard/math:1) is a very nice and useful library, I
see no need to load extension modules for built-in functionality:

  (apply lcm (build-list 20 add1))

lcm is part of R5RS and loading the math library to construct a list of
integers is clearly overkill.

However, solving the problems by throwing some library functionality at
them is maybe not the intention of Project Euler ;-)

cu,
Thomas
