Compressed and easy to understand information like that is rare!

Would have taken me days to figure out how the conversion would work step by step like that.

Honestly guys, all I did was read these two pages:
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Technical_background_of_version_1_Bitcoin_addresses
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Base58Check_encoding

And re-state it in terms of the particular RIPEMD160 hashes that were being asked about (all zeros, and all zeros except the last byte).
