Math solutions FTW!

(E.g., problem 1, I wrote something that loops over the numbers 1 to 100 
finding those that fit the divisibility requirements and summing them. 
Somebody else managed to produce a closed-form *formula* for the answer. 
Beat that!)

The few Haskell solutions I've seen look unecessarily wordy - like they 
were written by somebody just learning Haskell. But then, the Haskell 
Wiki has a section devoted to Project Euler, and most solutions there 
look rather childish and unperformant too, so...
