You would be shocked how many ostensibly experienced software developers cannot do FizzBuzz in pseudocode. I don't even mean they have a a problem with their implementation. Most of the people I've interviewed don't even know where to begin, which leads me to believe their claimed experience or CS education is simply made up.

What? FizzBuzz should only take five minutes. It's not an obstacle to any other discussion.

The question itself is strange. Why wouldn't you just use an aggregate query to identify and count dupes? Databases are really good at that stuff.
