The sum in question is twice the sum of the integers from 1 to 21. By the
well-known formula (sometimes attributed to Gauss), the latter sum is half
the product of 21 and 21 + 1, so the sum in question is

A simple problem posted on Quora:
What is the sum of all the even numbers from 2 to 42?
My J solution:
a=:>:i.42
+/(-.2|a)#a
462
I'm sure this can be done in a single line using a hook or fork.
but I'm not clear enough with the train rules to put this all together
on a single line.
Any suggestions?
