Noah's Twelve Months and Eleven Days in the Ark of the Flood

Midrash Aggadah, Genesis 8:14

"And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month" (Genesis 8:14), and so forth. From here is proof that Noah remained in the ark twelve months. And those eleven days that are between the falling of the rains and the drying of the waters upon the earth are eleven days, because the solar year exceeds the lunar year [by eleven days].
