Numbers are arranged like "even odd, odd even, even odd, odd even" 47 is the only one that doesn't follow this.

I answered 32 because I thought it was the only even number in the entire series. What's wrong in that?

The "difference between 47 and 63" is not 17 as stated. "Its 16"

It can be 63 because only 63 is a multiple of 9. Rest aren't.
