FizzBuzz isn't a coding test, I agree. It's an interview prep test. If a candidate can't take 15 minutes to read up on common interview questions and prepare a simple answer, then they shouldn't be hired.

If you have to do interview prep to solve FizzBuzz, then you have no business calling yourself a programmer.
I change the numbers from 3/5/15 to 3/7/21 just for fun, so I can see the people who memorized code the night before sweat it out.
