Great job. Very recognizable for such a small puzzle. It was tricky, too (the last half). But there was always one pixel I often had to hunt to find that let me keep going.#2: Jane Doe (telly) on Feb 4, 2010 [SPOILER]
Great title, too. I kept thinking, "I don't know what sport George Washington University won in 1989." Now it makes perfect sense.
I could tell who it was half way through. great likeness in such a small grid. Nice job.#3: Jota (jota) on Feb 5, 2010
Joe lately you have become my favorite! Also I'll admit to agreeing with Adam 100%#4: sanane samanye (maceraseven) on Feb 5, 2010
god job. almost logically unsolvable#5: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Feb 5, 2010
LOL, Jota#6: Teresa K (fasstar) on Feb 10, 2010
What a fun puzzle! Sometimes pixel hunting can be a pain, but this was fun because of the way the image popped out. The challenge was just right. Great job.#7: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Aug 10, 2010
very nice puzzle#8: karl (keicher) on Jun 21, 2011
requires some guessing, and this image could have been a lot better. it was recognizable from about 10% into it, and but i was disappointed by the lack of detail.#9: Gator (Gator) on Jun 22, 2011
karl - it is completely solvable by only line logic, it is just really hard to find all of the cells needed to proceed.#10: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Jun 22, 2011
just ignore him gator#11: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on May 27, 2012
Very nice. It's funny that he has such a recognizable silhouette. I wish there was more detail in the face, but I know (unlike Karl) how difficult it is to get the subtleties of facial features just right.#12: Deborah Eater (cricketswool) on Mar 12, 2018
I like what you did there (with the title)!#13: Daniel Korn (talechaser) on May 6, 2021 [SPOILER]
I think the level of detail is just right. Your eye fills the missing bits much more accurately than they could be placed on a grid of this size.
11 years later - as a proud 1991 GWU alum, I can say that what GW won in 1989 was the record for most losses ever by a Mens D1 Basketball team. We went 1-27. Lost 13 games, won homecoming, and then lost the next 14.
Expansion of the season to 30+ games has thankfully given other schools the record.
