Solution

The series seems to be increasing in a non-linear fashion. Let's try to find a pattern:

3, 5, 11, 29, 84, 245, 112919184

If we look at the differences between each pair of numbers, we get:

5 - 3 = 2 11 - 5 = 6 29 - 11 = 18 84 - 29 = 55 245 - 84 = 161 112919184 - 245 = 112918939

There doesn't seem to be a clear pattern in the differences. Let's try looking at the ratios between each pair of numbers:

5 / 3 = 1.666... 11 / 5 = 2.2 29 / 11 = 2.636... 84 / 29 = 2.896... 245 / 84 = 2.916... 112919184 / 245 = 461311.57

The ratios seem to be increasing, but the last ratio is much larger than the others. This suggests that the last number, 112919184, is the wrong term in the series.
