This is one of those quizzes that is so easy, you have to find some  
ridiculous way of solving it 😃

First off, there is the correct way of coding: clear, concise, and  
actually works

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Douglas Meyer

(1…100).each do |number|  
if number % 3 == 0 && number % 5 == 0  
puts ‘FizzBuzz’  
elsif number % 3 == 0  
puts ‘Fizz’  
elsif number % 5 == 0  
puts ‘Buzz’  
else  
puts number  
end  
end

Then there is the solution I would NEVER give during an interview or  
use in a application (unless I had tests, and I was the only one  
programming the application). I think this is the first time I used  
zip, also the |x,\*y| makes me think of erlang, lol

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Douglas Meyer

(1…100).zip((([nil]\*2\<\<‘Fizz’)\*34),([nil]\*4\<\<‘Buzz’)\*20){|x,\*y| puts  
(y.compact.empty? ? x : y.join())}
