+    Fizzbuzz is cyclical, we can prove this with the equations:
+        n % 3 = (n + 15) % 3
+        n % 5 = (n + 15) % 5
+    This basically says that any number modulas 3 or 5 
+    will be the same value when you add 15.
+
+    So we know that 15 is the max number here so we can create a bit queue
+    from the number of 0 - 15.
+        15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01
+        00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
+    if that number is divisible by:
+        neither = 00, 3 = 01, 5 = 10, both = 11
+    so the queue above will become
+        15 14 13 12 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01
+        11 00 00 01 00 10 01 00 00 01 10 00 01 00 00
+    Do you see a pattern? This binary number equals 810092048 in decimal 
+    and that will be our queue.
+
+    Now that we have this queue system we can check the queue as a whole using bitwise ops
+    against the value of 3. If the result of that check is 0 then we display a counter, 
+    else we display the proper message from the messages array. 
+    You will see that the index of those values map to the values
+    returned when doing a bitwise comparison for 3 and 5.
+
+    To use the queue we will shift the queue value to the right by two bits.
+    Then we will add the value of the queue after the bitwise and check
+    to the end of the queue by doing an or operation on the queue 
+    and shifting by 28 digits. (30 - 2 = 28)
