We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

I think it's because they were numbered as part of the original candidate pool, which is why there were only 75 final candidates for the SPARTAN-II project but John is number 117.
Correct Slade is being correct.
Indeed, twas the candidate number of the III's. Imagine yourself in line at a deli, taking a number with roughly 345 other people in line there. Your number is 320.
But wait... you hear a noise coming from outside the deli! Now imagine seeing a pack of ravenous body-augmenting wolves dash in and out through the line, while some of the total line of immobilized customers are systematically killed and dragged back to the wolves' den, for the grotesque (yet, modestly fine chef) Chickenpede to devour whole as a brief, yet filling, afternoon brunch; while some are very badly injured, and unable to remain in line. The few that are untouched by the slaughter number around 75. Though many of you are being kept warm inside the Chickenpede's oozing five-stomach inner digestive system, or struck down by the wolves of augmentation to a point at which living is blatantly resented, there are quite a few of your flock who remain unscathed after the conclusion of this meat-themed chaos. You, Customer 320, are alive with the other able-bodied customers of various other numerical callings to receive your fill.
You have survived to become a SPARTAN.
Sort of.
