Directions: In the following number series, one of the numbers is wrong in the sense that it does not belong to the series. Find that number. 812, 398, 190, 90, 40, 16

The underlying pattern of the series divides the previous number by 2 and then subtracts 6 to get the next term. Applying this to 812 gives 812 / 2 - 6 = 400, but the series incorrectly lists 398, indicating a discrepancy in the provided series rather than the logic. Continuing the established rule from 400 gives 400 / 2 - 6 = 194, which proves that the listed number 190 is the wrong term in the sequence.
