1,16,11, and 6 all have remainders of 1 if you try to divide it by 5, but 3 does not have a remainder of 1.

3 is the only number that is not a power of 2. 2^2=4, 2^3=8, 2^0=1, but 3 is not a power of 2 like the other #s.

3, 13, 8 and 18 have remainders of 3 if they are to be divided by 5, but 15 is evenly divisible by 5.
