Meta Prompt

Hey there! Mikey G here, hoping that you try meta #50 on for size.
This one is a bit avant-garde in that you might argue there are two separate mechanisms here. One was meant to be an Easter egg, but this egg just might give you what you need before perhaps the more hidden mechanism does. (Of course, you’re not required to find both.) Either way, may meta success be yours!
See you next time!
