What, you never played Buzz?  Group of people sit around in a circle with a 
bottle of booze.  They start counting ... if your number has a 7 in it you 
say buzz, not the number.  If the number is divisible by 7 you say 
bang.  If the number is both (contains a 7 and is also divisible by 7) you 
say buzz-bang.  If you mess up you have to take a drink.

Now, without changing the rules, play that using an octal (8) base 
numbering system in stead of the regular decimal (10) numbering system.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, buzz, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, bang, 20, 21, 22, 23, 
24, 25, 26, buzz-bang, 30, etc...
