Heeey, fizz-buzz!  We used to play that, but we played a specifically 
evil mutation.

>From the University of Chicago 2000 ScavHunt ScavOlympics:

14.  Sexadecimal fizz-buzz. Each team fields one counter, who joins 
the other teams in counting up, in sexadecimal. But in this version, 
numbers that are multiples of 5 (base-10) are said as ``fizz'' and 
numbers that are multiples of 7 (base-10) are said as ``buzz.'' If 
you miss a number, miscount, or whatever, then you sit. Full of 
shame. [50 points for first place, 25 points for second place, 10 
points for third place, and 2 points for good-faith participation]
