Different ways to ping?

I found out today that you can ping in decimal without using dots, then I found out you can ping in HEX with and without dots.

    How did you come up with the rest after 174.133.7.131? What input?

    So the first one after 174.133.7.131 is the decimal number for the 32bits... Take the 32 bits and sum them up to base 10 and thats what you get.
    The next one is simply each octet in base 16 in dotted decimal notation
    The next one is the same as the previous without dots
    The one after that appears to be a mix of the two (base 10 and base 16)
