One term in the series 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 35, 55 is wrong. Identify it.

Explanation

1. 01

   Each term is the sum of the two before it: $2 + 3 = 5$, $3 + 5 = 8$, $5 + 8 = 13$, $8 + 13 = 21$.

2. 02

   Next should be $13 + 21 = 34$, and then $21 + 34 = 55$ matches the last term.

3. 03

   So 35 is wrong; it should be 34.
