It would include the routers IP address. The trick to the question is that
number of hosts are a power of two. Within the range of addresses the first
address refers to the subnet and the last address is the broadcast address
of the subnet. So a 255.255.255.240 mask will only yield 14 host addresses.
You have to go to a 255.255.255.224 mask that gives 32 addresses with 30
usable for hosts.
