No number completes it because the sequence can go on forever. There are infinitely many possible solutions: given any seventh number it is possible to find a polynomial of degree 6 that will fit the above six points and the selected seventh.

There is only one polynomial of degree 5, and using that as the position to value rule, the next number is 131.
