I call these high stakes interviews "the perfect dismount".
You can feel the pressure mount - any algorithm that doesn't run on the first try or second (with a couple of quick fixes) and you're being mentally discounted.
The same for silence - if you're thinking through something, take abnormally too long, you're discounted.
The Perfect Dismount. A 10.0 is what's needed to land a FAANG job.
