The maths is correct (barring typos I didn't notice). The final result is
certainly correct.


Well, I didn't look at what he was trying to calculate very closely, I
just assumed he was calculating the time in two different frames. Maybe
I was mislead by Androcles' response though, since he suggested that
since you didn't get c for the velocity this conflicted with
relativity--if he was actually calculating something like the "closing
velocity" rather than the velocity of light in a particular reference
frame, then my assumption was wrong, in which case I'll take your word
for it that his final result was the correct one.
