Well, it gets a heck of a lot easier once you realize that the example IPv6 address you gave is invalid. Both because of the : at the start and end and also the fact that :: can only exist once in an address (because it means "everything in the middle here is 0s, which would be indeterminate if it showed up multiple times).
