That's because "500,000" is post #1. "499,999" is post #2, etc.
Therefore, thelark was correct to "skip" 499,991. You may notice he included the notation "bot". This means "back on track". People use this to indicate that the count down is back to its appropriate number when it has somehow gotten out of order.
With that in mind:
499,986

So, postcount #68 would be 499,933.
So, this one should be 499,932.
