The Offside Rule in Soccer - Solution
- E
- G
-
In Mark's frame of reference, B is simultaneous with E.
Since Mark entered the offside position at F which is before E,
it was before the ball was kicked.
-
In John's frame of reference, B is simultaneous with G.
Since Mark entered the offside position at F which is after G,
it was after the ball was kicked.
-
Light from B reaches Luke at I.
Light from F reaches Luke at K.
Since K happens before I, Luke sees Mark enter the offside
position first, and then the ball being kicked by Matthew.
