Seven, not six. One is solved already, but is still a millennium problem.

I see the six seven reference there mate

Yes, that's a strange mistake to make.

One of the other millennium problems is counting to 7.

Not really. There's a non-pedantic, charitable interpretation widely available. It's below for reference.

If solved problems don’t count anymore, the sentence also doesn’t make sense because now navier stokes apparently isn’t open anymore too, right?

Maybe? But then the parent comment doesn’t make sense either. (There are 2 solved.) Like I said, take the charitable view. To a lot of readers this will be “announcing” the closure of the second of 7 problems so is internally consistent.
