AI explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are 11, 33, 55, 77, 99, and 122. The differences clearly form a pattern of multiples of 11, but the final difference breaks this by being 122. For the pattern to hold, the final difference should be 121, making the last term equal to 281 plus 121, which is 402. Therefore, the wrong term is 403.
