py> for i in xrange(1,101):
...   if not i % 15:
...     print 'fizzbuzz'
...     continue
...   if not i % 5:
...     print 'buzz'
...     continue
...   if not i % 3:
...     print 'fizz'
...   else:
...     print i
...

I typed this without so much as hitting delete. Didn't time it but I'm 
guessing less than 2 minutes. How much am I worth a year? (Hopefully 
capitalization is not important for this exercise.)
