      Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other…? I don’t know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D

        69 is (our) 69 because the whole thing is the same when you rotate it 180°

        As is XIX
