What Aaron was saying was that in this list :
1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : []
A fold replaced the cons (:) by another function (and [] by another constant).

Your problem isn't so easy to do with a foldr, a foldl would be easier
and a foldr1 or foldl1 even better. Are you sure you can't use one of
those other folds ?
