I think FizzBuzz is so popular that if you even needed me to describe the question, I'd be a little confused. I don't think I know any programmers with more than a year or two of experience/schooling that have never seen FizzBuzz before.

Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't think poorly of someone or of their programming skills because of that. But not knowing about FizzBuzz is like not knowing the name of the current president. Have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years? It seems to be mentioned at least once a week on any sort of newsfeed, forum or blog related to programming.

People have different social circles. I mentioned FizzBuzz at my current position and none had heard of it, but they all banged it out in 3 minutes.
