Sorry. I know this was tough. But I like the image.

He is recognizable.

I was enjoying this puzzle very much, and had spent quite a bit of time on it when my computer required rebooting and I lost it. :(

So, thank you for the fun, and after peeking I can safely say "The finished image is great!"

So sorry, Minnie!
thx!

By the way: I think it is solvable without guessing...

I recognized it early on, mostly from the crazy hair and the tongue. This is solvable by logic with a little bit of (one line deep) edge logic at the end and a lot of perseverance. Good job with the hair!

Fun puzzle.

But, if you throw a flashlight like a dart, in space, bulb forward, would the beam emanating from that flashlight not be travelling at the speed of light PLUS the velocity of the thrown flashlight?
Like if you throw something out the window of a moving car, it is initially moving the speed of the car plus the speed of your throw (until air resistance immediately slows it down, which is why I said the flashlight would have to be tossed by an astronaut)

Sure the speed of a thrown object would be negligable compared to c, but it still seems like it should technically be
c+v(of the thrown flashlight)

Oh my goodness, BT, I'm rolling my eyes at you, lol

besmirched tea, I believe that all speed is relative to the source. The beam of light would 'only' be traveling at the speed of light. Consider shining a flashlight anywhere on Earth. That also is traveling at the speed of light. Yet the Earth is not only revolving, but also rotating around the sun, Which is orbiting around the center of our galaxy, which itself is traveling through space. We're already going at a considerable speed, yet the light beam is traveling at the speed of light, relative to us. Beyond this, and I get a headache.
