Some of this I swear is to see how you act "stressed".

2 years ago given a coding assessment "Roman Numeral Conversion". Was given a set of test cases. I got near the solution. I think if I had another 5-10 minutes I would have solved it fine. Sat down that evening with the same test cases and did it from scratch in 20 minutes.

5 years ago, I didn't get a job because I while I did well technically. The reason for the rejection was that I appeared "stressed" while being assessed. What do they expect?

10 years ago. I walked out of an interview essentially after about 10 minutes. The interviewer(s) interrupted me the moment I started writing any code, constantly interrupting my train of thought. I think it was intentionally done to irritate me. I've had companies play these stupid games in interviews before.
