The Mystery of the Missing Number – Can You Solve It?

To create a structured and complete number sequence, you need:
A starting number (e.g., 1)
A consistent pattern (e.g., +1 increments)
A defined range (e.g., 1 to 100)
No missing elements (unless intentional!)
Preparation – How to Spot the Missing Number?
Scan the sequence carefully – Read through each line, ensuring every number is present in order.
Check for jumps – If a sequence is meant to be continuous, any sudden leaps indicate a missing number.
Compare it with a correct version – Writing out the numbers yourself can highlight discrepancies.
Look for common errors – Sometimes, human handwriting can lead to duplicate or skipped numbers.
Cross-check similar digits – Numbers with similar shapes (e.g., 6 and 9) might be miswritten or overlooked.
