+A two-digit hex number is `pattern:[0-9a-f]{2}` (assuming the flag `pattern:i` is set).
+
+We need that number `NN`, and then `:NN` repeated 5 times (more numbers);
+
+The regexp is: `pattern:[0-9a-f]{2}(:[0-9a-f]{2}){5}`
+
+Now let's show that the match should capture all the text: start at the beginning and end at the end. That's done by wrapping the pattern in `pattern:^...$`.
+
+Finally:
+
+```js run
+let reg = /^[0-9a-fA-F]{2}(:[0-9a-fA-F]{2}){5}$/i;
+
+alert( reg.test('01:32:54:67:89:AB') ); // true
+
+alert( reg.test('0132546789AB') ); // false (no colons)
+
+alert( reg.test('01:32:54:67:89') ); // false (5 numbers, need 6)
+
+alert( reg.test('01:32:54:67:89:ZZ') ) // false (ZZ in the end)
+```
