If there's a way to solve this (as per July 19 version) without guessing, I'd love to hear it. As far as I can figure, it's not solvable by logic alone.

Very nice image, Barbro. I recognized him before finishing.

Thanks for the hints on the edge logic, Gator. I don't think I could have done it without that help.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Wow. All through solving this, I was pretty sure that it was Odo from Star Trek Deep Space 9. Filling in the mouth at the very end was the only contradiction to that guess.

Good likeness. I guessed who it was about 2/3's of the way through. That very seldom happens. Fun solve.

I also thought Odo at first, then Data for the rest of the solve, but now that I see the answer, I totally see it!

I started solving this one, but got to it from the Active Discussions page. Apparently the system didn't know that I was logged in so my partial solve disappeared.

Haven't read any spoilers or hints.

So now I'm gonna start again. As I recall, I got the blue and part of the upper outline and the lower right, and I saw Obama: the angle of the head, close-cropped hair, and big ear. We'll see...

Yup. Good image!
