   You started talking about gammas, but it appears the problem can be   
   solved by simple algebra. It's probably the start of another attempt to   
   show a contradiction. It won't work. It's a waste of time.

   [[Mod. note -- I would add (this is directed more to others in   
   the thread than the author here) that in thinking about relativity   
   it's generally most productive to focus on *events* and particular   
   observer's *clock readings* at certain events.  The notions of   
   "length contraction" and "time dialation" are generally harder to   
   interpret and more prone to confusion.
