Let's work out the network address:


    66       81      246        0
01000010  01010001 11110110  00000000

so a /24 would become


    66       81      246        0
01000010  01010001 11110110  ........

that works, because these were all zeros that were dropped.

a /23 would become


    66       81      246        0
01000010  01010001 1111011.  ........

that works, because these were all zeros dropped.

a /22 would become


    66       81      246        0
01000010  01010001 111101..  ........

that fails because there was a one there.

So, turning this around, the network address for /20 would be


01000010  01010001 1111.... ........
    66       81      240        0
