Literally eternity? Then a monkey with a typewriter could get out. But someone who can't Fizzbuzz might *not* get out because they would literally never think of trying all possible solutions, or devise a valid informal iterator for them if they did.

The category “poor countries that seem to produce a lot of coders” is just a list of poor countries with very large populations. Brains suitable for coding are ~evenly distributed while opportunities are not.

Yes, because "I can't perform the basic mental operations integral to what x *is*, but I have a passion for x" is incoherent. Passion requires some basic degree of ability. If you're arguing you can leverage a lot from there, I agree. But not everyone has even that to start with.

Possibly, but they can’t exercise that meta-skill arbitrarily. You cannot just yell at someone “make your brain do the thing that makes you understand this!” and expect magic to happen.

Translating very direct instructions into a particular syntax is probably something that can be taught to anyone. "Write an if-else statement in Python that..." Sure. "Solve Fizzbuzz without having someone else do it for you" is much trickier, and you don't practice for it.

Solving FizzBuzz. This is what programmers do. They are not syntax-translators, they are problem-solvers.
