Suppose you got up one morning and decided to jog. While jogging a blonde girl stopped you and gave you three \(\displaystyle \text{IP}\)s.

\(\displaystyle 1.0.0.1\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.0.0\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.1.2\)

She asked you which one of them is the network address? What would you tell her? How would your answer change if she asked you the same question while you were catching red herring?

This is a calculus problem???

I despise jogging. Only a tiger running after me - will make me run.

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Suppose the blonde gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}8\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.0.0.0\).

Then, you would tell her that none of the three \(\displaystyle \text{IP}\)s

\(\displaystyle 1.0.0.1\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.0.0\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.1.2\)

is the network address because in this situation the network address is \(\displaystyle 1.0.0.0\) which she did not give you!
 
Now suppose she gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}9\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.128.0.0\).

Then, you would tell her that none of the three \(\displaystyle \text{IP}\)s

\(\displaystyle 1.0.0.1\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.0.0\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.1.2\)

is the network address because in this situation the network addresses are \(\displaystyle 1.0.0.0\) and \(\displaystyle 1.128.0.0\) which she did not give you!
 
Now suppose she gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}10\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.192.0.0\).

Then, you would tell her that none of the three \(\displaystyle \text{IP}\)s

\(\displaystyle 1.0.0.1\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.0.0\)
\(\displaystyle 1.5.1.2\)

is the network address because in this situation the network addresses are \(\displaystyle 1.0.0.0\), \(\displaystyle 1.64.0.0\), \(\displaystyle 1.128.0.0\), and \(\displaystyle 1.192.0.0\) which she did not give you!
 
Now suppose she gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}11\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.224.0.0\).

Then, you would tell her that none of the three \(\displaystyle \text{IP}\)s

\(\displaystyle 1.0.0.1\)

Now suppose she gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}12\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.240.0.0\).

Now suppose she gave you a \(\displaystyle \text{CIDR}\) with a \(\displaystyle \text{/}13\) prefix, or the subnet mask \(\displaystyle 255.248.0.0\).

khan and blonde are standing on opposite sides of the same river.

blonde asked khan: How can I get to the other side of the river?
khan replied: You are already on the other side of the river!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
