Missing

A particular new program I use at work has been great. It is a calculation model that does the job quickly and more accurately than the old system. It does, however, have a quirk. There are two particular numbers that must be entered via the number pad, rather than the numbers on the keyboard proper. However all the other numbers on the keypad do not work. This leads to eloborate two finger typing in order to get the right numbers into the model. It is frustrating but it raises a smile every time.

The two numbers are '6' and '9'.
