I can bang out fizzbuzz in 2-3 minutes in an interview situation, in multiple languages. I've done so multiple times. So why can't I get past the interviews and actually get a job offer? In Python, slightly optimized- for i in range(1,100): p=i if (i%3==0 and i%5==0): p="fizzbuzz" else: if (i%3==0): p="fizz" else: if (i%5==0): p="buzz" print(p)
