What's a "DRY problem"?

Now maybe someone should write a blog posting about writing
specifications.  Let me have a go at that.  What you mean is probably:

  Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 121. But for
  multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the
  multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of
  both three and five print "FizzBuzz".  For numbers which are multiples
  of seven, print "Zoom".  For numbers which are multiples of three and
  seven, print "FizzZoom".  For numbers which are multiples of five and
  seven, print "BuzzZoom".  For numbers which are multiples of three,
  five and seven, print "FizzBuzzZoom".

Why did I write it that way?  Because it's closest to the FizzBuzz
spec and also the way you wrote the incomplete spec for FizzBuzzZoom.

That spec naturally leads to a solution you consider "ugly".  Now
maybe someone can write a less ugly specification, and maybe that
naturally leads to a less ugly program.
