I did have to guess several times on this one. I had trouble with the nose area because either way it didn't seem to look right. I have to also say, I did not recognize the image, and didn't associate her with Las Vegas. It really is difficult to create a good portrait in a small grid, so I appreciate your effort, Kai.

Here's the photo:

I don't know that I guessed. Gator HELP!

No guessing. Some two-way logic in a spot or two, and a little edge logic on the right side (that may not have even been necessary, but I tried it before I realized there was two-way logic to be had).

I thought it was Barbra (I'm serious!)

Streisand?
Yes, the noses are familiar...

Checked it again. No guessing required.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.
#7: Gator (Gator) on Jul 18, 2010 [HINT]
Edge logic on column 35.

Two-way logic on row 20.

The rest is normal logic.

Thanks!
#9: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 19, 2010
thanks for entry Kai
#10: Byrdie (byrdie) on Jul 19, 2010
Ditto #2.

2 way logic?
#11: Gator (Gator) on Jul 19, 2010 [HINT]
Yes, two-way.

After you have done the edge logic on column 35 and a lot more line logic, you should be stuck again. If you look at row 20, you should only have one 2 clue left. Also notice on row 21 that you only have one 2 clue left. If you look at where you can complete the 2 clue in row 20, you will either need to fill in R20C23 or R20C25. If you look at the columns, in column 23 we have a 3 clue next. In column 25 we have a 2 clue next. So either R21C23 or R21C25 will have to be black. Knowing this, we can dot most of the rest of row 21.

Found to be logically solvable. nice

Sure does look like Streisand but good puzzle

It's actually a pretty good likeness! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steffi_Graf

The best what? Very tedious puzzle and I did have to guess at least once. Very complex image that must have taken a while to create.

Velma, she is considered by many to be the greatest tennis player of all time. I think she is still the only one who has earned the Golden Slam.
