Explanation

The series should be prime numbers ending with even numbers or following a specific pattern. Looking at the differences: 1968 - 1956 = 12, 1976 - 1968 = 8, 1982 - 1976 = 6, 1988 - 1982 = 6, 1992 - 1988 = 4. The pattern 12, 8, 6, 6, 4 doesn't show clear progression. However, if we consider that these are leap years: 1956 (leap), 1968 (leap), 1976 (leap), 1982 (not leap), 1988 (leap), 1992 (leap). The year 1982 is not a leap year (not divisible by 4), while all others are leap years. Hence 1982 is the wrong number.
