I already have a bag full with nothing else and a bag with an apple,
and will post my results... but in the mean time, I'd like to find out
if they are likely to ripen in 1 day, 2 days, 15 days, etc.


Hard to tell. Sorta depends on how "unripe" the avocados are to begin
with. The unripe avocados one usually finds in the supermarket should
ripen in 2-3 days if placed in a paper bag with a ripe apple, pear, or
banana. Don't use half rotten fruit.


But in my experience they also ripen in 2-3 days without any help. I believe
that a ripe banana or apple does speed things up, but not by a lot. With a
banana it might take 2 days as opposed to 3 days without.
