If that were a real situation, I wouldn't have, he over-engineered the shit out of it and while cool, I prefer devs who can solve simple problems simply; they get more work done for the price.

Sometime it is better to hire for culture, someone who is intelligent but also, and this is critical , can take a joke.

FWIW, please be mindful of your biases. I recently had an interviewer with a major bank conglomerate who had some silly puzzle. I outlined a system for solving it in algorithmic notation, and the interviewer had no idea that such a response was appropriate and said sorry, that they were looking for someone with programming experience, not specific, just "many languages" ... Not saying you do this, but what if someone…

I hate puzzles too, especially the gotcha ones with esoteric knowledge required. But for FizzBuzz I explain the problem, explain that there is no trick and the simplest answer that produces the correct output will be fine. To solve it you need to know about building a loop, what the mod operator does, and maybe keeping state depending on how you build it. I tell them to write it in the language they know best. None o…

One of my friends failed an interview out of college where they asked him fizz buzz, and [using python] he created an array [list(range(1,101))] and then overwrote multiples of 3 with "fizz" multiples of 5 with "buzz" and multiples of 15 with "fizzbuzz." Because it was an unconventional solution, the interviewer didn't like it.
