My response would be to have a field-day with HR talking about MSB and LSB.
Certainly wouldn't be a one-word answer. So HR disqualifies me?

My response would be: Discontiguous subnet masks were allowed in the pre-CIDR era. If you so desire, give me about 2 
hours since I do not have a scientific calculator handy; and I will get back to you with the complete-list.

Definitely not 5 words as required from the HR stand point. So I get disqualified again!
