Easy interview question got harder: given numbers 1..100, find the missing number(s) given exactly k are missing

Question

I had an interesting job interview experience a while back. The question started really easy:

Q1: We have a bag containing numbers

Answer 1

You could try using a Bloom Filter. Insert each number in the bag into the bloom, then iterate over the complete 1-k set until reporting each one not found. This may not find the answer in all scenarios, but might be a good enough solution.
