Quiz-question 5 has strange correct answers[edit source]

I doubt the answers in question 5 to be correct. First of all, according to the quiz, there can be 3 and 221 private networks (which is a contradiction in itself). Additionally, there can be 27 class-B-networks (which should be class-A), 214 class-C-networks (which should be class-B) and 221 private networks (which should be class-C) (see [1]). Either I'm misunderstanding something badly right now or all correct answers in this Quiz-question are wrong. --81.17.28.26 (discuss) 10:13, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are totally right. The answers have been wrong due to a copy and past error. Sorry for that! I corrected this now. You could also correct the quiz next time by editing the quiz page directly --Renepick (discusscontribs) 10:49, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But why do we have only 3 Private networks? I think we have 3 ranges of Private networks:
1) 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 (in A-class)
2) 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255 (in B-class)
3) 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 (in C-class).
But the amount of networks (not ranges) should be:
1 in A, 16 in B, 256 in C. In total 273 networks. --oleamm (discusscontribs) 22:48, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
because I wasn't aware of the fact that there exist ranges of private networks but I just looked it up via w:Private_network and thus changed the answer. Thanks for pointing this mistake out. --Renepick (discusscontribs) 23:43, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
