Solution

The series seems to be increasing in a pattern. Let's try to figure out the pattern:

  1. The difference between 5 and 1 is 4.
  2. The difference between 14 and 5 is 9.
  3. The difference between 30 and 14 is 16.
  4. The difference between 55 and 30 is 25.
  5. The difference between 93 and 55 is 38.

If we look closely, we can see that the differences are not consistent. However, the first four differences (4, 9, 16, 25) are all perfect squares (2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2).

If the pattern of differences being perfect squares continued, the difference between 55 and the next number should be 36 (6^2), not 38.

So, 55 + 36 = 91, not 93.

Therefore, the odd number out in this series is 93.

This problem has been solved
