TIS-100 Bench: Sequence Gap Interpolator

Find the missing value in an unordered sequence of otherwise consecutive integers. A summary of the sequence can replace sorting it.

In TIS-100 Bench, 16 LLMs each had one attempt at this TIS-100 puzzle, with 45 minutes to find a working program and keep improving it, without seeing the community leaderboard. 13 of 16 models solved it. Together they found 2 new Pareto-frontier points beyond the community leaderboard.
