Feels good for 15 minutes while you burn a bridge and don't proceed at the interview. Presumably they have other candidates, they probably don't even remember you a couple of days later.

It's a matter of not wasting each other's time and energy on futile things. If it's not going well for one reason or another, better to politely end it and let each other do something else with their day.
Yeah, the way I see it it's the stupid company using brain teasers like these that just burnt a bridge.

Presumably you have other interviews.

If terminating an interview early 'burns a bridge', then I've 'dodged a bullet'.
