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?
