I know...

I just sent you a PM on this very subject. The whole thing is based on the idea that at least one year passes after Bilbo leaves the Shire before Frodo sets off for Rivendell--but not much more than that, since Sam, Merry and Pippin don't have a Ring to keep them young for another 17 years.

Jackson, Boyans and Walsh discuss this in the FotR-EE commentaries and estimate that as little as a few weeks pass before Frodo leaves. But this doesn't work because he doesn't have enough time to reach Rivendell by October 20 and Gandalf doesn't have enough time for his researches (much less the Hunt for Gollum).
