I am sorry, two random Internet users in Korea and Germany, your IP addresses are simply special.

ping 1.1 also works. It resolves to 1.0.0.1, which is Cloudflare's secondary DNS

    It sure is better then ping 194.204.152.34 which I used to use.

    IPv4 has some other features too.

    $ ping 0x8.02004010
    PING 0x8.02004010 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=116 time=22.8 ms
    

    That'll be Google's root DNS server, using hexadecimal and octal representations.
