I'm so lost to learn that I'm very late to the party as I have faced a few challenges along the way and not being able to do it exactly on time because of an internet blackout in my city (Islamabad, Pakistan as some huge protests were happening) and I have to keep on with the VPNs to cope with the issue. (ref: Internet services partially resumed in Islamabad, Rawalpindi arynews.tv/internet-services-parti... and although some VPNs are blocked as well). But I've worked hard on something for this challenge in the last few days spending nights, ghosting my sleep time, and trying my best to get it done:

It'd be best if you consider this in the submissions or making this post available to the public otherwise all of my workdone would go in vain and be of no useful :((
