I think that even the "Fizzbuzz challenge" doesn't require computation. 100 lines of hardcoded "print" would do fine. The question clearly states "prints the numbers from 1 to 100" and not "calculates". Any programmer who can clearly translate the requirements to proper working code is a good programmer. I realy pity the people that dump any solution here. One other quality of a programmer is to "read" the requirements and give an answer in code to it. Those wo dumped a solution here did not quite understand the post. If the post was a test for a job interview, all of you would have failed. Therefore it is great that the comments are back here. There is more info in the comments about programmers than in the article itself.
