A massively over-engineered, incorrect solution?

		A candidate that appreciates the value of the question, yet won't subject themselves to the absurdity of demonstrating compliance. Yes, very much yes.

Shit attitude from that candidate, considering the interviewer is completely correct. I wouldn't hire them since they are obviously a problem employee.

For those that don't know, Fizz Buzz is less an aptitude test and more of an attitude test. That's why this candidate failed and didn't get the job.

		For those that don't know even more, this interview never happened and this interviewer doesn't exist. It's a funny joke on the internet.

		> Fizz Buzz is less an aptitude test and more of an attitude test The amount of (highly credentialed) interviewees that can't 0-shot a correct and fully functional fizzbuzz is also way higher than a lot of people would think. That's where the attitude part also comes in.
