Ok, that specification is:

|Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. 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".

Given the separate case in the spec for Fizz Buzz, having a separate
case in the program looks pretty natural to me.

Anyway, what is the specification of Fizz Buzz Zoom?
