I can't help wondering; if you had a car parked in your bottom, would you care about the numbers?

I'm fairly sure some of the numbers (including the missing one) are the solutions to this polynomial
x^6 - 531 x^5 + 117475 x^4 - 13859985 x^3 + 919750924 x^2 - 32549480844 x + 479926006560=0

Can't you fit 5 arbitrary numbers to a 5th degree polynomial?
...although it's tougher if you insist that the unknown 6th number must be an integer
...and even tougher if you insist that all coefficients must also be integers!

You can. but that's not quite the same thing.
That polynomial only has a fairly simple set of solutions - the values of x that give an answer of zero.
And they are the numbers of the parking spaces (well, most of them- I forgot one, and I can't be bothered to redo the maths)

For example, if you calculate that polynomial for x=88 you will get zero. (Unless I screwed up somewhere)
