I can't think of any way to do that definitively, but you could just
FILEINCLUDE those specific pages, and do a HOSTFLOOR 12P, to get a list
of all the IP addresses that requested at least 12 pages from the
collection. While this would include people who requested the first few
pages multiple times, it might give you some idea of what's going on.

HOSTSORTBY PAGES might also useful, if you set your floor lower, to see
if a lot of people give up after page 7, for example (assuming that most
people start at page 1, and work their way forward).

No, because there is no attempt to try and match up several requests from
one user, because it's impossible to be sure whether two requests were from
the same user or not.

Of course, if people normally read the article in order, it might be good
enough to see how many people reach the last page.
