THank you for ya'lls feedback, one more question in regards to ID's, Primary
Keys and indexing.
Lets say that in the future the admin wants to list all the records for
answer 50, now, if I have my user ID as the primary key, do I have to index
all my answers so they are easy to search? or it doesnt really matter?
Thanks!

I recommend you the next table configuration:
1 table for users
1 table for the questions (so you can have more than 100)
IF the User can Input the Answer -> 1 table with User ID, Questin ID
and the Answer
IF the User only selects a pre-defined Answer -> 1 table Answer ID,
Questin ID, Answer
1 table User ID, Questin ID, Answer ID
IF the User can select a pre-defined answer OR input, a MIX of both
solutions.
