I don't know, but I'm sure you'll tell us. And this means that I, for one, will be able to stop losing sleep as I lie awake at night wondering about it.
From Parshah In-Depth - Noach
-------------------
The chronology of events, as indicated by the dates and time periods given in the Torah’s account and calculated by Rashi, is as follows:
Cheshvan 17: Noah enters ark; rains begin.
Kislev 27: Forty days of rain end; 150 days of water’s swelling and churning begin, during which the water reaches a height of 15 cubits above the mountain peaks.
Sivan 1: Water calms, and begins to subside at the rate of one cubit each four days.
Sivan 17: The bottom of the ark, submerged 11 cubits beneath the surface, touches down on the top of Mount Ararat.
Av 1: The mountain peaks break the water’s surface.
Elul 10: Noah open the ark’s window and dispatches the raven.
Elul 17: Noah sends the dove for the first time.
Elul 23: The dove is sent a second time, and returns with an olive branch in its beak.
Tishrei 1: Dove’s third mission. Water completely drained.
Cheshvan 27: Ground fully dried. Noah exits the ark.
Total time in ark: 365 days (one solar year; one year and 11 days on the lunar calendar).
