9. In a computer program, valid combinations of data are five characters long and start with a letter and finish with a letter. In between, numbers or letters may be used. Identify which block below contains a violation of this pattern.
Line 1: A123B C546D m874A P461N M938A v847F Line 2: x82aC D546j z834A 7421N y935B k142q Line 3: A123B Ca46D m474A P411N Mj38A v8b7F Line 4: x82aC D566j z8f4A h4x1N y93aB k122q
10. On a network, each computer has a special address called an IP address. In IPv4, the addresses must take the form [0-255].[0-255].[0-255].[0-255]. A valid IPv4 address, for example, is ‘192.168.13.2’. Look at the blocks of IP addresses below. Which block, if any, contains an invalid IP address?
Block 1
192.168.1.3 192.168.2.7 192.1.4.9 172.16.4.3 194.13.2.2
Block 2
10.10.0.3 10.1.6.4 254.250.1.1 200.1.3.1.1
Block 3
14.17.1.1 192.1.5.1 192.192.1.4 221.122.1.4
Block 4
10.10.16.4 192.168.4.3 172.16.9.8 4.4.4.8
ANSWERS
1) 5. The outside numbers, taken as sums, add up to the inside num-
bers; 3 + 2 and 1 + 4 both equal 5.
2) 6. The digits of one number, multiplied together, generate the next number; 1 x 6 = 6.
3) 293, 031. Seeing the sequence as two-digit numbers, rather than three-digit numbers, reveals it as 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. 4) foot; slow; cheese;
5) ar; ho; is; wo; ed
6) “You are a bus driver.” The driver’s eye color is the color of whoever
“you” is.
7) Short. Adding two letters – er – turns it into “shorter.”
8) All months have 28 days. Some months have more, in varying amounts.
9) Line 2 (7421N is the violation)
10) Block 2 (200.1.3.1.1 is the violation)
