    Solution

    Differences: 9 βˆ’ 6 = 3 15 βˆ’ 9 = 6 27 βˆ’ 15 = 12 53 βˆ’ 27 = 26 99 βˆ’ 53 = 46 195 βˆ’ 99 = 96 Try doubling differences: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 Apply: 6 + 3 = 9 9 + 6 = 15 15 + 12 = 27 27 + 24 = 51 (should be 51, not 53) 51 + 48 = 99 99 + 96 = 195 So 53 is incorrect. Wrong term = 53
