How long did it last?

We know there was time dilation going on, but what was the extent of it?

Rand seemed to have perhaps less than hours. Thom (just outside the cavern) probably a little longer (he killed six people I think). Ituralde and Aviendha seemed to experience weeks if not months. Elayne experienced at least a couple of months.

Does anyone have a firm idea of how much time passed for who, and where the dilation stopped? Did time slow for Lan or Egwene fighting in the Borderlands while Elayne was at Andor and Cairhien?

I figured it was an hour and a half or less for Rand. 2-3 hours for Thom, 4-10 hours for Aviendha, and then longer and longer. I don't think on any level it lasted more than a day because of the fact that Mat used Hinderstrap which is what, every 15-18 hours or so? When the sun goes down? Which is really the most reliable way to tell time, ha!

Prolly not more then a few hours at most for Rand. A few more for Thom. I thought Avi and friends had days, since I clearly recall they had resting shifts and such. At least a month, prolly more, for the rest.
That's my calculation, at least.

The Battle at Merrilor only took about a day or two if I recall correctly.
