Sorry to disappoint you potty-heads it's a counting game.

We take it in turns to count a number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc

Except:
If yours is a multiple of five or has the digit 5 in it, you say Fizz.
If yours is a multiple of seven or has the digit 7 in it, you say Buzz.
If yours is a prime number you say pee.

If it has two or more of these in it, you say both the words.
For example, 7 is buzz pee. 35 is fizz buzz.

I think we should just keep counting if someone gets it wrong, but we can have fun shouting at them.

We go on until someone (lawfully) says fizz buzz pee.

I'll start.

Pee.

Ah! I love this game! We called it "Buzz Boom Bang" where Buzz was a prime number, Boom a multiple of 7, and Bang a multiple of 13. By the way, you already lost, laughingcav... 1 is not prime... Also, it's not possible to have a number that is "fizz buzz pee" because the requirements for each of those conflict with each other: "fizz buzz" would mean that the number would have to have factors of 5 and 7, and "pee" means that the number can only have two factors (itself and 1), thus you can't have a number that is "fizz buzz pee". Anywho...

Pee

Oh fudge. But it's only divisible by itself and 1?

My rules are a bit different form yours ....
if a number contains digit 5 you say fizz
if a number contains digit 7 you say buzz
So I think we'll get to fizz buzz pee eventually, though I don't think I ever have.

Hoping I am right this time:

The correct definition is that a prime number only has two factors: itself and 1, thus, 1 doesn't fit because it only has one factor.

Okay, yeah, I think it's possible, then. I missed the "number contains" part.
