My brain is completely burned, I am not sure if you are looking the same thing as I am, as I am looking it now, my method will never work for the question asked, it will give just the first numbers missing in the sequence, but if there is a range missing then it fails, is that what you were pointing me?

Yes, basically that's it. But, I happened to be testing with a sequence # - missing - # - missing, and that's where I first noticed it. It actually shows up in your own example - for any gap greater than one number, it shows only the last member of that gap.
