IPv6 compression

Not sure where best to put this question...

I'm doing a Google Coursera course and totally stuck on an assignment for IPv6 compression

Here's a couple of the questions and what I think the answer is using the two rules of compression but they're both wrong

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong thanks

Can't edit the post - there's only room for 20 characters in the answer box

Dont think you can omit leading zeros, only blocks of four

8bfa:99f0:d4c5:0b8c:0f6f:04df:2804:283d = 8bfa:99f0:d4c5:0b8c:0f6f:04df:2804:283d

00eb:0000:0000:0000:d8c1:0946:0272:0879 = 00eb::d8c1:0946:0272:0879

You can

I guess the exam is banjaxed then - will contact them, thanks

Actually I've just inspected the field and it should be 39 characters long so must be some JS or something blocking any more than 20 characters
