Math error in claiming inf from e-mail

Earlier, I was trying to get myself to a round 1 billion inf, so I e-mailed everything above that number to my global. But, that put me slightly below 1 billion. I figured I'd just typo'd the amount I sent myself, so I claimed the inf, did it again... and ended up slightly below 1 billion again. So, I set out to take some screenshots to make sure I was sane.

The first screenshot was taken just after I e-mailed myself the inf. You can see that I have 999,999,936 influence on me. The e-mail that's dislayed has 294,297,728 influence attached to it.

999,999,936 + 294,297,728 = 1,294,297,664. So if I claimed the inf, you'd expect me to have that amount, right?

I claimed the inf. As you can see in the second screenshot, that gave me 1,294,297,728 influence afterward. 1,294,297,728 is not 999,999,936 + 294,297,728. It's off by 64, actually. The funny part is this: Remember I was trying to get myself to an even billion. I sent myself 294,297,728. 1,294,297,728 - 294,297,728 = 1 billion.

So, I sent myself the correct amount to get me down to an even billion... but the game apparently took an extra 64 influence and attached it to the e-mail invisibly. Or something. Either way, something's screwed up here. Or I and everybody I've run this past is failing at math thanks to it being late night on a Friday.

The number in the Combat Attributes is not exactly correct. I noticed a long time ago that there must a bug that makes it vary slightly sometimes (by 100 or so at most). To see the real amount you have, click on Menu, then on ID. The real INF value is listed under your character's picture on that screen instead.

yup, either that or cliam it at WW or BM, that will always show you the correct amount

Combat Attributes fudge a lot of numbers. I don't think anyone on the boards ever got an answer as to why.
