Let me break it down a little bit more:

permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.255

The 255.255.254.255 is a wildcard mask....so in binary we have

11111111.11111111.11111110.11111111

This means we could care less about 31 out of the 32 bits in that IP
address.  The only thing we care about is that the least significant bit of
the third octet is a 0, meaning anything with an even third octet is
permitted.
