Old page wikitext, before the edit (old_wikitext) | ''''Fizz buzz''' is a group word game for children to teach them about [[division (mathematics)|division]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Rees |first=Janet |title=Fizz Buzz: 101 Spoken Numeracy Games – Ideal for Mental Maths |date=2002 |publisher=Learning Development Aids |isbn=978-1855033528 |url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fizz-Buzz-Spoken-Numeracy-Mental/dp/1855033526}}</ref> Players take turns to count incrementally, replacing any number divisible by three with the word "fizz", and any number divisible by five with the word "buzz".
== Play ==
Players generally sit in a circle. The player designated to go first says the number "1", and each player thenceforth counts one number in turn. However, any number [[division (mathematics)|divisible]] by three is replaced by the word ''fizz'' and any divisible by five by the word ''buzz''. Numbers divisible by both become ''fizz buzz''. A player who hesitates or makes a mistake is eliminated from the game.
For example, a typical round of fizz buzz would start as follows:
{{quote|1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz, Fizz, 7, 8, Fizz, Buzz, 11, Fizz, 13, 14, Fizz Buzz, 16, 17, Fizz, 19, Buzz, Fizz, 22, 23, Fizz, Buzz, 26, Fizz, 28, 29, Fizz Buzz, 31, 32, Fizz, 34, Buzz, Fizz, ...}}

Fizz buzz (often spelled "FizzBuzz" in this context) has been used as an interview [[resume screening|screening]] device for computer programmers.<ref>Imran Ghory (2007-01-24).

[http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000781.html "Why Can't Programmers.. Program?"] ''[[Coding Horror]]'' (blog).</ref> Writing a program to output the first 100 FizzBuzz numbers is a trivial problem for any would-be computer programmer, so interviewers can easily sort out those with insufficient programming ability.
