AI explanation

The differences between the consecutive terms should follow the pattern of increasing by 8 each time. So, the differences should be 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48, meaning the second term should be 27 plus 16, which equals 43. Since the series lists 35 instead of 43, the term 35 is the odd one out.
