Nitpicking ahead :)

Actually the result of the else branch of (if (even? x) x) is
undefined. CHICKEN happens to return (void), but don't rely on it.
I personally stick to the (and (even? x) x) check Jim mentioned
because you will always get a truth value. (void) is not Ã#f but
CHICKEN *could* just return #f for cases like this and still be
within specs...

Kind regards,

Christian
