    $\begingroup$ I hope these aren't factorials... because 8760! is a rather large number... :P $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 16, 2019 at 23:11

    $\begingroup$ At least on my device, all the speech bubbles seem white on the inside (except for numbers and !), but when I click on the image, only 6570!, 5169!, 3135!, 5163!, 4152!, 7215!, 7455!, 8760!, and 4548! are white, and the rest are grey. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ It looks like numbers that were changed by OP in an early edit have been reverted to their pre-edit values with the most recent edit. @Who is that intentional? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Who would you kindly respond to my previous comment? It seems like knowing the intended numbers are actually what is (currently) in the puzzle is a pretty important thing to be able to progress, and given that they changed once before and then changed back, it at least seems plausible that the reversion was unintended. Please clarify? $\endgroup$

Partial Answer for a Picture in case it helps someone see something:

Following the rules of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizz_buzz

I have replaced all the numbers divisible by 3 with FIZZ, 5 by BUZZ, and by 15 FIZZBUZZ.

enter image description here

Assume that both:
1. The speech bubbles all represent a group of players attempting to provide answers to the game;
2. The speech bubbles which remain when the image is clicked are the responses considered valid.

Then the rule governing whether an answer is valid is simply whether:

It is divisible by 3

This is hinted at in the title, since:

In the classroom mathematics game 'FizzBuzz' the word 'fizz' is used to replace all numbers divisible by 3.

  • $\begingroup$ @hexomino Ah, true... but then with so many kids calling out their answers all at once, maybe they just didn't get heard amid all the commotion ;-) (Will try to spot why those 2 are excluded, but given the title I would think the answer would be heavily connected to this line of thinking...) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Who What do you mean, rescind? Posting answers which turn out not to be correct is perfectly OK - someone can find the correct answer later. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 21, 2019 at 16:16

    $\begingroup$ @Randal'Thor; I don't think the OP wants to auto-bounty to a wrong answer! $\endgroup$
