How Many Miles for New Tranny Fluid to Be Completely Mixed?

When tranny fluid is removed (by whatever method and in whatever quantity) and new fluid is added, what would be your guess as to how many miles it would take for old and new fluids to be completely mixed?

Yeah drain and fill. Shift through all gears and slowly start to accelerate the car.

Drive enough to get it up to speed!

Drive it around the block once (or if you don't live on a block, to the mailbox and back ) and you couldn't distinguish the old fluid from the new if you could see it.
