I'm Clive, Wintron's non-programmer colleague and the guy who tried FizzBuzz on the piece of paper.
I feel fascinated by the fact people are examining the approach I took, and a little flattered by the nice remarks people have made about the fact I should maybe move on to learn a programming language. Maybe I will.
If I'm honest, I don't understand all the observations people have made, but there's one I do understand, and wanted to shed some light on: the point about iteration.
The exercise reminded me of some kind of in-the-round drinking game, where everyone is determining the responses one by one, as an iteration of the last number.
Consequently, this shaped the way I approached the problem.
In retrospect, I completely see that I would have been better off simply counting from 1 to 100, then translating each of the 100 numbers into how it should be displayed (Fizz, Buzz, FizzBuzz or as a number). But recreating the drinking game in my head, it made perfect sense to me that each number is determined by being an iteration of the last one. That feels to me like I count in real life.
Thanks again for taking an interest, and yes, maybe I will ask Wintron/Steve to teach me some programming!
