Additionally, it's pretty easy to determine the remaining time without the limit. To do so, go to your profile, and sort by newest:

The "You are only allowed to ask 6 questions in a 24 hour period" restriction is applied both by account and by IP. Your profile indicates that you've likely hit this limit all by yourself:

1. 19:34
2. 16:32
3. 16:14
4. 16:02
5. 15:53
6. 12:01

Any attempts to ask questions between 19:34 on the 27th and 12:01 on the 28th would have caused this message. You asked your most recent question on 2011-09-28 12:13, which is 24 hours and 10 minutes after this one 6 questions ago.

Note that your shared IP will be significant if you get banned from Chat or the site for abuse, or if mods are investigating socks or vote rings. Both socks (which you're not, assuming you've been honest about your situation) and vote rings (which you could be) are handled in the same way, so be careful to avoid abusing the system or you and your colleagues will be banned, and they probably won't like that.
