The 100-hour board can answer, with sarcasm and humor, any tactful question posted on its Web site or on the board itself.
'I like the service of the 100-hour board, but some answers are pertinent and some are ridiculous,' said Melani Robinson, 23, a senior from Poolesville, Md., majoring in English.
The service is free to anyone who has a question they want answered.
'But the answers are very sarcastic and rude, even though they are sometimes funny,' said James Fenn, 23, a senior, from Bigfork, Mont., majoring in construction management.
'I just think that when the questions are answered they should be more straightforward. Most of the time the answers underneath don''t go with the question,' Fenn said.
When walking up to the 100-hour board, most students are confused because there are random questions and answers posted without explanations.
The writers behind the answers are mostly BYU students, but there are non-students that contribute as well. Because there are so many different people that contribute to the 100-hour board, the writers want to focus on the board itself and not the people behind it.
'Once people know about the 100-hour board, I believe people will be more likely to read the questions posted,' said Rebeca Ruiz, 20, a junior from Mexico City, majoring in photography.
Ruiz also said, 'It would more convenient and accessible if questions are answered in the newspaper so people could take better advantage of the services.'
The 100-hour board Web page, as well as its physical companion in the basement of the Wilkinson Student Center, has a place for students to anonymously submit questions about anything and receive an answer within 100 hours.
