Testimonials:

“Pat Battaglia’s column remains a favorite among readers. If we inadvertently put the answer in a different spot, readers bombard us with calls. Their enthusiasm in solving the puzzles has remained strong over these many years.”
Features Editor,

“We have run Pat Battaglia’s feature for a number of years. It is concise, offering our readers a quick, pleasant diversion.”
Lifestyle Editor,

"We added If You're So Smart ... to our editorial mix several 
months ago to give readers one more reason to pick up our paper, and we're happy to say it's working just fine. We receive steady, if not spectacular, communication from our readers on this feature; most  often to tell us that one of the answers is 'wrong.' That's never actually proven to be the case, but the puzzles are challenging enough to stump many readers even after they have the answer! It's 
been a nice, user-friendly addition to our pages."
Tucker Mitchell, publisher
The Huntersville Herald

It's true! Your newspaper will actually make money when carrying our weekly puzzle feature. Here's how:

1. Publish the If You're So Smart... puzzle column and place the answer next
    to or between two display ads.
2. Directly below the puzzle, print a one sentence statement notifying readers
     that the answer is next to or between two display ads. Identify the
    advertiser(s) by name and identify the page where the ad(s) appear.
3. The identified ad space is extremely valuable to advertisers because
     readers get to know the advertiser's name and are directed to the
     advertiser's display ad. The newspaper can therefore charge substantially
     more for the ad space and advertisers will willingly pay it.
4. Result: Everybody wins!
    • Advertiser name recognition is established with all readers.
    • Advertisers have their ad seen by all readers.
    • Your newspaper gets substantially increased ad revenue.
    • Your newspaper has no added expense. Payment for the column is only a
       small portion of your increased revenue.
    • Readers are engaged in a refreshing new puzzle feature & can win cash.
 
Our once-a-week If You're So Smart... puzzle column has the following benefits:
• Interactive - Readers are invited to respond and can receive cash awards
• Fun for readers ages 8 to 88 - proven by reader responses
• The puzzles (word games) are amusing and have surprising answers
• Puzzle variety – no monotonous repetitions
