Correct, the original specification only had 3 and 5.  I gave a longer
example to illustrate how the specification might be modified.  Obviously
it is not the same specification any more.  The i%15 approach gets messy
once there are more than two numbers to check.

I don't think that's in the spirit of the original, which
would be to print 'BuzzZonk' for n=6.
