It can't be 172.16.1.0/22 because the address of 172.16.2.0 does not share a 
1 bit with the rest. I thought it was supposed to be the leftmost common 
"bit" for the mask. If so, wouldn't it then be 172.16.0.0/12. If you say it's 
22 then it's not the leftmost common bit, it's the leftmost 
common...umm...space. ;)   Can somebody give a positive answer? Thanks...
