@noiob bit of a tossup really. you could use expected sums, but detecting a delta of 2 is perfectly fine

@noiob
because they're all sequential but exactly one number is missing: the expected sum is the sum of the range from min to max. if you take that expected sum and subtract the actual sum, you get the one missing number.

@trwnh oh! yeah that's way smarter
