For those not familiar with fizzbuzz: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?FizzBuzzTest

There is an “enterprise implementation” of fizzbuzz available on GitHub: https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition

And even more amusing are its open issues:
https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition/issues?page=4&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen

Some of my favorites:
#141: *URGENT* *NEED HELP ASAP* I can't run this on my LG Optimus L9
#13: FIPS PUB 199 COMPLIANCE
#216: 6 Month Release Cycle
#214: Can we have a REST API?
#224: A Great Job Opportunity For You

Also: This looks like spam, but it’s not!!

Also:
Posting because these are hitting a little too close to home right now... :(

We're going to need some sort of persistence layer since the FIZZBUZZ protocol isn't truly stateless -- a user stating fizzbuzz might require a response of 16 or 31 (or an infinite number of other responses). We'd need to start tracking user sessions, which will have data protection issues so we'd need to get legal involved.

Is it worth getting a committee together to draft a replacement truly stateless protocol to FIZZBUZZ? I don't think it's been approved by ISO or any of the national standards bodies, nor is there an RFC. We'd have to get other stakeholders involved, of course.

Sounds about right...

“If I understand the standard right it is legal and safe to do this but the resulting value could be anything.”
