[Article author here!] Reg is right. The purpose of the FizzBuzz test was to weed out anyone who couldn't program at all and not punish anyone who forgot a semicolon, used = when they should've used == or some similar error. I was completely prepared to discuss the result if someone got close to a working solution.

To my surprise, the candidates' solutions were either bang-on or way off. The guy who asked "Do you think I should use a loop?" had to be cut off at the ten-minute mark, and his paper had only the start of a C-syntax for loop and a lot fo scratched-out lines.
