I tried to get a little creative and I told DALL·E to hide the episode number 599 somewhere in the picture, but I couldn't find it. Then I asked DALL·E to indicate the number with a red arrow and this image was the result. If you can find the number in the original image, the first one to prove it to me via the contact us link gets to pick an episode topic!
