3. startford upon avon
5. 3E8h
7. 255.255.255.128

5. 3E8H - IRQ 4

6. 1111 1111/ 1111 111 / 1111 1111 / 1110 0000 = 255.255.255.224

7. 123.213.32.0/27 = 3bit subnet mask = 8 subnets with 30 hosts (11110)

0 123.213.32.1 - 123.213.32.30
1 123.213.32.33 - 123.213.32.62
2 123.213.32.65 - 123.213.32.94
3 123.213.32.97 - 123.213.32.126
4 123.213.32.129 - 123.213.32.158
5 123.213.32.161 - 123.213.32.190
6 123.213.32.193 - 123.213.32.222
7 123.213.32.225 - 123.213.32.254

8. trivial pursuit

Doh! Too late (on the ones that I knew, and lets face it, if it wasn't under beer cap, I wasn't getting it - apart from maybe the hex Q.... I think...)
