Crossword puzzle with prize

Crossword puzzle with prize

Every day The Jakarta Post has a crossword puzzle (Monday to
Saturday on page 6, Sunday on page 9), together with the answer
to the previous puzzle. It is interesting but sometimes I am lazy
to fill the blank boxes because I think I can wait until the next
day and find the correct answer.

Besides that, there is no challenge because no reward is
provided if I succeed in filling in all the blanks correctly. So,
to make this crossword puzzle more interesting, I suggest that
The Jakarta Post gives a present to the winner.

Kompas also has a crossword puzzle everyday, and provides a
prize three times a week -- Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. So The
Jakarta Post may start giving a prize just once a week, for
example for its Sunday edition. It is not the prize that really
matters, but the pride of winning the prize is more important.

Unlike Kompas, The Jakarta Post, it seems to me, is somewhat
western oriented in its crossword puzzle game. Often the
questions are not well known to Indonesian readers. Since your
readership includes expatriates who live in Indonesia or are
making a trip in this country, why don't you make the questions
sound more Indonesian?
