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.

Apparently this happens often - dunno why.

Oh well, maybe it's just some delay in updating the profile or something.

Try starting another game and see what happens.

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!

Thank you for your suggestion Mr Huckleberryhound, but I fear the consequences when "the system" inevitably will find out I'm playing 7 games...

Thank 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.

I would like to take this opportunity and thank you all for your invaluable input. Especially I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr Strangelove whose insights in the matter at hand were of great help to me.

There must be a flaw in that somewhere, but I can't figure it out. ๐Ÿ˜•

EDIT: Ahhh, spotted it.

2(a-b)=a-b

a-b=0

therefore 0=0, not 2=1

2(a-b)=a-b -> 2=1...
That's my hint...
