Right. The 'max-concat trick', 'Group column statistics in rows', might
be easier, eg...
SELECT
name,
MAX( IF(question=100,answer,'') ) AS Ans100,
MAX( IF(question=101,answer,'') ) AS Ans101,
MAX( IF(question=102,answer,'') ) AS Ans102,
MAX( IF(question=103,answer,'') ) AS Ans103,
MAX( IF(question=104,answer,'') ) AS And104
FROM tbl
GROUP BY name
