Got the answer, but the links to the answer checker and entry form are, for some reason, not working for me right now. I'll try again later.

Sorry - something went wrong with including the links in the email and none of them actually link to anything. The ones on the web page do work though:

Not that it matters, but the form wouldn’t accept a 3-letter screen name. There’s also my slightly Arabic sounding Sulimeg.

Odd! I'll look at that.
Here's the updated leaderboard... Still 2.5 days to go, so plenty of time to give it a go if you haven't already or ask for a hint if you're stuck.

Saw this late and missed the deadline. But, I got the right answer. Fun. Some challenging fill.

Thanks, @ricky! However, given that I live in Australia, I am happy for my prize to get reallocated.
