The key to this one is to study a Math Primer...then one is sure to get it right.
i knew it was the prime rule, i just didn't know that 51 is plrime thats all
51 isn't prime that's why it is the odd one out.
excellent teaser... the prime number factor is the first thing i checked for and it was rite... might not be so easy for others

I found this one quite easy, but I'm a math guy so the pattern jumped at me. I did have to ponder 97 for a bit to confirm it is prime. Good simple teaser.
