Wow this is amazing!


Interesting. How is this encoded?


It's just the bits of the ip number interpreted as one 32-bit integer instead of four 8-bit integers.


It's a decimal encoding of 0x01000001 - 1.0.0.1


Its A.B.C.D with A255^3 + B255^2 + C255^1 + D255^0.


Almost. Replace all 255 with 256 in the formula.


Already in the mail!
