Team Numerologist Abdul Alhazred explained it. "Lefty's old number, 79, has a core mystical value of (7*9) 63. In order to maximize his orgone reserves, we needed to alter that. Obviously, combining the current mystical value of 6 and 3 gives us (6+3) "9". The esoteric derivative of his original number (7+9) is 16 or, when converted to its core mystical essence (1*6), 6. Combining those as indicated by Nostradamus, we have 9 and 6 - 96. Couldn't be easier."
