I'm fairly new to the cisco way of learning and I had a question.

I found this question on a piece of paper in one of the books I borrowed from the library:

"You belong to an organization that is internally using the network 222.66.0.0 that has been subdivided into 53 subnets. You are responsible for the subnet 49 and you are to subdivide it to serve 10 classrooms with 33 students each.

What is the full IP address and subnet mast of student 17 in classroom 7?"

Now I Can most likely figure out the question, but the issue i'm having is, how in the heck do you get 53 subnets? Last I heard you can only get 32 or 64. Please someone help me figure this out! I've been racking my brain for a while and have come up with nothing.

Thanks in advance!
Paul
