Speaking of literal interpetation, the original Quiz post came across in my mail with a number of non-standard ASCII characters wrapped around the Fizz and Buzz text.

      but for multiples of three print “Fizz” instead of the
	number and for the multiples of five print “Buzz”. For
	numbers which are multiples of both three and five
	print “FizzBuzz”.

I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out how to output those (unsuccessfully) after getting my initial solution working.  Based on a number of the other posts on the topic it appears that the real requirement was to output Fizz, Buzz or FizzBuzz only without the other characters. Is that correct?

Just curious while I wait to post my first quiz submission.
