(1) THE missing number? The post makes it look as if there are THREE missing numbers.

(2) Given the three blanks to fill in, you can put any numbers there you want and it will be a valid sequence.

Conclusions:

(1) The statement of the problem is faulty; and
(2) if the problem were stated correctly, it would be impossible to know the "right" answer
