In Cody Problem 59786 minnolina asks us to find the integer that completes a randomly sorted arithmetic sequence with one missing element. This problem is similar, but it deals with geometric sequences. For example, in the list [4 8 32 128 16 2], the common ratio is 2, and the missing element is 64. 
Write a function to find the missing element in a randomly sorted geometric sequence.
