But that's the problem that FizzBuzz highlights. A bunch of people just can't do it. This isn't about the (now retracted) Sheep and Goats stuff. Plenty of the people who fail fizzbuzz are computer science graduates or senior programmers.
I don't know of any research about why people who think they can program can't do FizzBuzz. I'd love to see it though.
