I usually spend around 30mins. If I'm not sure what the answer is, I try to construct a very specific question to my boss or colleagues. I make it in a way that gives the person enough context to answer my question and to know what I'm really asking.

That often helps me clear my thoughts and find out what really it is I am looking for. If that didn't enlighten me, I hit send and I wait for the answer.
