People should be able to solve FizzBuzz provided it is explained properly and fully.
This is the same for a lot of the basic algorithms we learnt and forgot.
This, to me is the big caveat. Just as there are a lot of people who are horrible at solving stuff they should easily be able to, I've conversely seen so many horrible interviewers that under-specify the problems they ask about because they assume people should understand algorithms that would make it easier to understand, or just assume people will infer things most people wouldn't.
