Were you coding with someone either much more, or much less experienced than you? Without knowing the case, this could affect how successful the pair coding is.

Two people somewhat less experienced. I don't believe that was the issue.

Out of curiosity do you think they benefited from the experience?

Hard to say. The code that was produced was worse than useless, IMO. I think they were programmers that had both peaked (and stopped learning) when they were young. I'd guess they're in management now.
