When should I have posted this question?

Are there specific days and posting-times which you've found to attract the best possible answers from the great green mass, for particular types of questions?

Recently I posted a thread in which I asked people to help me think of dastardly crimes that supervillains might commit. I was thinking as I posted it that it was a bit of "a friday thread" - and fortunately enough it was Friday at the time. And the results were great!

I'm wondering if there's a flipside to that coin - that if I wanted some super-specific bit of technical info about wind turbines, I'd be best off posting it on a Wednesday morning, when the atmosphere is more serious? Or would posting then actually attract a student-and-freelance crowd, who could be asked about college choice and life without medical insurance?

I know the hive gives fantastic answers every hour of the week, but I suspect the 'Friday Thread' phenomenon is real, and I'd love to know what similar trends others had found.

This a) should be in MetaTalk, and b) has been asked a million times already.
