35. Special Relativity / Consequences of Relativity / Problem 2

Bob is located at a distance of x = 1242 m from the origin and when he observes light from two separate events. During Event "A", a flare gun fired at the origin (x = 0 m), and during Event "Q", another flare gun fired at x = 1850 m from the origin position. The light from both events reaches him simultaneously at 9.2 μs. Determine what the original time values are, considering when each of the flare guns were initially fired.
