I don't know if we've gotten there yet, but Fizz Buzz specifically may not always be an effective weeding-out tool: once enough people have heard of it, they may prepare specifically for it. Perhaps a better approach would be to come up with your own small test of comparable difficulty, sort of like a blog that has a custom but otherwise extremely hackable way of testing if you're a real person.
