Why does the real number of answers to a question never show?

When I decide to have a look around different categories and I am on the questions list page, it never shows me the correct number of answers to each question. Even if I refresh the page, the number is more often than not still incorrect.

Sometimes I will be the first to answer a question yet when I go back to the list, it still says 0 answers! So, I refresh the page but still I get 0 answers!

Does anybody know why? Have I got one of the settings wrong in Internet Options or something?

Update:

Well, thanks guys! Gosh there were a couple of people there who were really helpful, wasn't there? (for their benefit, I was being sarcastic when I said you were helpful!).

    I always open in a tab. Then when I close it out and reopen it again, they will always be updated, but I too have found out that refresh does not work either.
