While I agree in the abstract ...honestly, it's not that hard to write at least pseudocode for problems like that regardless of the "stress" of an interview
Is it reasonable to ask things like that? Maybe, maybe not.
But as stressful as an interview is, it's still a basic problem (I can English describe it to you in 30 seconds...coding (in C/C++) would take me another 5-8 minutes (and, probably, be pretty damn inefficient ... but it's still a simple problem)
