Yes, I think that I must be careful not to spin my wheels too much on any one problem and plan my time a little more carefully. I sometimes spend an unreasonable amount of time on a single question, and wait a bit to hear from the MSE community -- it's probably wise to move a little faster during the semester... | |

It probably doesn't help that many answerers are students or teachers and might have more free time in summer. | |

What might help is providing more extensive context (what related theorems/ideas you are familiar with, where you got stuck when trying to solve the problem itself, etc), as discussed in more detail here. In practice, even if you provide plenty of context, posting questions here is always bound to be something of a crapshoot, and even many good questions slip through the cracks without getting much attention. Consider offering bounties to attract more attention to your questions. | |
