Found to be logically solvable by jan.#3: Jan Wolter (jan) on May 8, 2009
OK, this is logically solvable, but darn hard.#4: Meg Tayler (rebelcat) on May 10, 2009 [SPOILER]
Everything except the face is easy. Filling in the face is hard. Edge logic gets you a bit, but not much. Line solving gets you one pixel in column 15 that is very helpful, because it lets you fill in most, but not all of row 13. Once I had that, the key, for me, was the two fives in columns 7 and 8. Looking at them individually it seems like either one could be either above or below row 13, but if you look at them together, it is fairly plain that they can't BOTH be in the top half of the puzzle. Knowing that at least one of them is in the bottom half lets you fill in some pixels in the bottom half, and from their your home free.
