Well, I'm always a little baffled when I see such great techniques for rejecting potentially awesome candidates.

Why overthink a toy example? The only purpose served by fizzbuzz is to weed out people who can't write any code.

If you want to know anything else, ask a more relevant technical question. It's downright lazy to simply jump to conclusions, and as a result you end up hiring the wrong person.

To be clear, I'm not referring to candidates. I'm referring to the questioners/interviewers suggesting this approach.
