Yes, I'm trying to learn/practice Design Patterns in Haskell making 
euler problems three times:

1. Non Monad
2. Ad-hoc Monad
3. Standard Monad

Thank you for help me in the 3rd Stage. I was trying to solve 2nd Stage. :-(

I don't included 10 because the the original problem say multiples below 
X. But as you know it isn't very important.

Yes, a lot. I understand standard libraries are very well done. But they 
are a bit difficult to understand source code for me yet. That is the 
point of try very easy problems with ad-hoc Monads. Understand what 
problems presents Monads and how to solve.
