Courk · Daedalian Member

sweetwater · Male Member

Won't work if the IP address is not static (not server-assigned).

But even then Sweetwater, it'll still be the same class B or C subnet, thus narrowing it down..
I get a non static address each time I log on, but it's always the same first two octets..

I think maybe he meant to say email address?

Ghost Post · Icarian Member

You guys are seriously confusing me now.

Quailman · His Postmajesty

Are you serious? This riddle has been posted over and over in the discussion forums, although a more appropriate place for something of this nature would be the Visitor Submitted Puzzles. For the answer, just look at the one word in bold in Courk's reply.

What you say is true, jester.

Except we'll be like the postman who knows the ZIP code, but not the street address.

Lepton · 1:41+ Arse Scratcher

Well, the odds that this guy is for real....

maybe we should add a verse:
"If you think it, you'll consider this a real riddle"

yes, sweetwater, but how many of us live in the same zip code anyway?

jesternl · Yankee Doodle Dutchie

Exactly Mercuria...

Let's say your IP address in this session is 221.132.119.54. Someone whose IP address is 221.132.117.67 posts a message. Nobody else from GL has 221.132 as the network identifier. Therefore that someone is you? Why couldn't it be your neighbor, or someone 1,000 miles away, who have the same two octets?

Mercuria · Merc's Husband's Wife!

it's not necessarily you, but it's usually someobody local, since it's usually isp-dependent...

jesternl · Yankee Doodle Dutchie

And AFAIK there's only a few people that live close enough together to have the same first two.
