If I had to guess, I'd say two weeks (12/23-27/85, 12/30/85-1/3/86). Thus, S-165 aired 12/20/85, S-166 aired 1/6/86. No inside knowledge--just a shot in the dark.
That'd make sense, except that Season 2 started on September 16, 1985 (and per a couple of uploads on YouTube, Alan Cevednik's eighth game aired Thanksgiving Day), which puts #S-165 at 12/13/85.

The closest thing I can find to an answer is this recollection by an audience member on ATGS back in 1999. Per said poster, Rocky's last two shows were taped in December '85 and aired in early '86.
The Game Show Forum: beating the **** out of the competition since 2003.

There may have been three weeks worth of reruns from December 16, 1985 to January 3, 1986.

Today's episode is probably on the medal podium of episodes between the daytime and nighttime versions. It was that good.
That sprint round was something to behold. Textbook example of anticipation for quiz bowlers everywhere.

By the end of the sprint, they were trading buzz-ins like Bid-A-Note. I can anticipate that question in two words, Jim.
