Remember, there is a clue as well and not just a question.

Rumbled lol - if I do get the answer, I won't be claiming the glory (well, not now anyway lol !!!)

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I Finally got the answer. Ted, will you PM what the prize is, so I can decide whether to post the answer or (if I'm not interested) let someone else try?

EDIT PLEASE READ: :D It's not true, I just got an error message "bad magic number" and thought it was the answer. Good to know that such an error exists, I'll keep trying... :D

Please post the answer. If you don't want the prize I can run another quiz or you/I can donate it to someone else.

It looks the right size for an IPv6 address but I have no idea how to check if it is! Is it the IPv6 address for the TalkMagic web server?

It looks like hex to me. Is it the hex code for talkmagic? I do not have a hex calculator on my netpad.

I will, as soon as I find it: as I explained I got a "bad magic number" error and thought it was the answer (isn't it strange that I got this kind of error while trying to solve the TalkMagic quiz?)
