70-291: Wrong VLSM study question?

Hi to everyone,
following a question from a 70-291 study exam, with the suggested correct
responses.
I belive these responses are wrong.
First take a look at the question:

----------------------------
Your organization has leased the Class C network 199.205.15.0/24. You are
subnetting this network
using VLSM. Your routers support the zero subnet and the longest match
algorithm. You ask one of
your support staff to design a subnetting structure, but when she submits
this you suspect that some
of the network/subnet mask allocations are invalid. Which of the following
are not valid networks?
(Choose all that apply).

1. 199.205.15.64/25 <Correct>
2. 199.205.15.8/27 <Correct>
3. 199.205.15.130/26 <Correct>
4. 199.205.15.192/26
5. 199.205.15.40/28
6. 199.205.15.96/26
----------------------------

AFAIK, looking at the last octet of the above addresses and masks,
199.205.15.64/25 equate to
01000000 address
10000000 mask.
This mean not all host bits are set to 0, so this is not a valid network.
The same goes for:
199.205.15.8/27
199.205.15.130/26
199.205.15.40/28
199.205.15.96/26

The only valid network is 99.205.15.192/26.

What do you think?

Kind regards,
Corrado

Valid networks in a /25
0, 128
Valid networks in a /26
0, 64, 128, 192
Valid networks in a /27
0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224
Valid networks in a /28
0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240

So......

1. 199.205.15.64/25 <Nope>
2. 199.205.15.8/27 <Nope>
3. 199.205.15.130/26 <Nope>
4. 199.205.15.192/26 <Yep>
5. 199.205.15.40/28 <Nope>
6. 199.205.15.96/26 <Nope>

I'd say you're right!
