Google Treasure Hunt puzzle 3

Two days back google posted that they will be posting 3 puzzle for google treasure hunt soon.

This week’s puzzle is set to be released on Tuesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. PDT.

PDT is 7 hours behind UTC, so its around 10 PM, 27th May in India.
So the 3rd puzzle is live now. I have given it a try and submitted my answer, I think (!) it should be correct.
This time question is related to networking. You have to find the path followed by a packet given its destination and routing table for the network.

The nodes are hosts on the network, and the lines between them are links. A packet is sent out from host O with a destination of 46.44.187.63. Which nodes does the packet pass through on its way to the destination?

To refresh your concepts read (Routing tables, On wikipedia). If you got the idea, then it shouldn’t be difficult. Intuitively also you should be able to find your way through routing table. Give It a try..and but you will only get to know your answer status after 23hrs from now.

I’m A Programmer, Not A Computer Guy

This is a funny article showing that just because someone can program a computer doesn’t mean that that makes them a “computer guy.” This is to programmers what printers and copiers are to computer guys.
