On Me. Screenshot from the official music video for Take On Me. How's that for an A-Ha moment?

I had to add a lot more black than there was in the reference picture, but you can compare the puzzle image with the link below.

Also, I believe I was able to do this with line and edge logic alone, but I also don't entirely trust my advanced logic skills, as I am still learning and getting better at it. If it needs guessing, so be it, but I recommend trying edge logic whenever you get stuck just to place even one or two more pixels to get you going again.

Great likeness Aurelian. One of my favourite bands. :)

My all-time favorite video!

Yeah, the video was so artistically done, and the storyline is both funny and exciting. I love when the waitress thinks she skipped out on the bill.

I'm surprised Teresa (or anyone else) hasn't commented on the "aha moment" pun yet. I had her in mind when I made it.

Ha! I didn't even think of that. At the start of solving, I thought of "Take...these broken wings", but I soon realized it was going to be a face, and I quickly had my A-Ha moment. :)

Fun fact: the band chose that name because it had the same meaning in Norwegian as in English.

Cool, now I know a word in Norwegian. :)

Good pun. I didn't get it until I saw the image.

Just too large to finish. Too much up and down to keep track of where I am.

Nice. I rated it hard only because at the end I had to guess 3 or 4 times. Otherwise, it was a bit tedious but average hard.
