"Keep in mind that many computer science graduates can't even solve fizzbuzz." I have encountered far more people who repeat this "fact" than I have encountered CS graduates who actually cannot solve fizzbuzz. Closer to the truth is the statement that many computer science graduates can't solve a topcoder-elite problem, on a whiteboard, within 45 minutes, while talking out loud the entire time. Because that's closer to a real-world "fizzbuzz test" than anything I've seen on Joel Spolsky's blog. (sadly)
