In my profile's Stats section it says I have 5 games in progress. But no matter how hard I count my games, I get 6 games in progress at the moment. You're all free to comment. And no need to make sense, either.

Originally posted by adam warlockThank you Mr Warlock for mathematically proving to me beyond any doubt that there actually isn't any mistake at all but, rather, everything is as it should be.
a=b -> a+a=a+b -> 2a=a+b -> 2a-2b=a+b-2b -> 2(a-b)=a-b ->2=1 -> 2+4=1+4 -> 6=5.
And since the equality relation is reflexive you get 5=6!

a=b -> a+a=a+b -> 2a=a+b -> 2a-2b=a+b-2b -> 2(a-b)=a-b ->2=1 -> 2+4=1+4 -> 6=5.

EDIT: Ahhh, spotted it.
2(a-b)=a-b
a-b=0
therefore 0=0, not 2=1
