Is there like a open/closed time on Jiskha? Is there a certain cut off time so I know when not to waste my time looking for answers when you are not available? Not trying to be rude just asking.

Concerned,

jishka is 24-7 as long as people are on it.
Jiskha is never closed. During the night, many tutors are not online, but the questions posted at night are usually answered the next morning. It's rare that tutors answer questions posted more than 24 hours before.
Oh ok, thx
I'm often one of the first tutors to look at Jiskha in the mornings. One of the strangest things I see frequently is someone posting at 2 am (remember that Jiskha's clock is on Eastern Time!) and wanting an answer "ASAP" or "in ten minutes."

Yes, questions come in overnight, but they are rarely answered until Jiskha's clock reads 5 am or later. Those in the Pacific time zone have the hardest time understanding this.
