"Fizzbuzz" is a classic question for software engineering job interviews. One is asked to write a program that outputs the first 100 (or another number) "fizz buzz words," which are defined by a simple rule: the Nth fizzbuzz word is "fizz" if N is divisible only by 3, "buzz" if N is divisible only by 5, "fizz buzz" if N is divisible by 3 and 5, and "N" otherwise. On the face of it, this prompt seems very simple in comparison to what programmers are expected to be able to do. Yet, according to a surprising volume of software engineer recruiters, Fizzbuzz turns out to be a very difficult problem for the vast majority (~90%) of applying computer science graduates! We speculate on how this could be true, what the significance of it is, and muse about some of our own computer science educational experiences.
