Over the last several months I've been slowly cataloguing the history of Fizz Buzz and its numerous variations. Here's an incredibly strange version I've found in the August 1958 edition of The Country Guide, a Canadian rural magazine.

The classical Fizz-Buzz takes the form "Fizz for multiples of A, Buzz for multiples of B, Fizz-Buzz for multiples of A×B", often also including numbers that merely contain the digits A or B.

This magazine has, as far as I can interpret from its confusing wording, presented a game of the form "Buzz for numbers 5N, Fizz for numbers 5N+2"

I am also confused what they mean. I clearly do not "catch on" daddy-oh. But I think you're right? Sadly this means they have murdered the most prized numbers of them all, and the ones most likely to get people disqualified - the FizzBuzz
