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.

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.

Joe lately you have become my favorite! Also I'll admit to agreeing with Adam 100%

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.

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.

karl - it is completely solvable by only line logic, it is just really hard to find all of the cells needed to proceed.

just ignore him gator

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.

I like what you did there (with the title)!

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.
