What leads you to believe that the ability to solve fizzbuzz is a valid selector for individuals who will contribute in the desired manner? In my experience, technical ability is not linked to social ability or empathetic behavior.

I think the expectation behind invite-only membership is that members will curate their choices beyond basic tests such as this. Look at it this way, if the ability to solve fizzbuzz were a valid selector, the site could establish a simple screening process that doesn't involve an invite system.

If your standing on the site is affected by your invitees' behavior, you may be in for a rough ride.

I really just used it as a cool way to start conversation with people and if they didn't seem like some sort of troll I shot it their way. Someone even did a Prolog one, Clojure too. Makes for good nerd-chats.

for(var i=0;++i<101;)console.log(i%3?i%5?i:"Buzz":i%5?"Fizz":"FizzBuzz")

what's my prize?

Email me.

Site is fizz?

I had fizz heard buzz fizzbuzz, well fizz buzz of it but didn't know it was a thing to solve.

(How is fizz relevant buzz this?)

It was simply the test someone else gave me to get my account so I figured it would appropriately filter out the audience. They just wanted to make sure it was very hacker/programmer-centric, I imagine. Such a test is a good filter of that. And if you just google a fizzbuzz solution and send that, obviously its interesting enough you would be motivated to learn some things, and who isn't going to help foster that?

Is what I did something like what you're talking about?

(Replace every 3rd word with fizz, every 5th word with buzz)

I don't crave an invite, I just want to know that this is for sure what you're talking about.

Oh! You want program code :)

I meant to tell you that the site is down (fizz), but it looks like someone else figured out that it works without the www.

I just sent you one thanks.
