Had to look on reddit for how to solve part 2. Wasn't happy with the idea of using something like Z3, so I ended up brute force guessing the velocity, solving for the position and time and seeing if those are correct.

Lots of unintelligible calculations for solving the equation systems in the code that I just prepared on paper and transferred over.
