yet another paradox (?)



Please bear with me again. Consider a spaceship with two people at
front and back ends. The person at the front resets his clock and sends
a light signal to the person at the back, who resets his clock when he
receives the signal. Then, they both move to the center of the ship to
compare clocks. Due to the delay of the signal, there will be a certain
offset in time that the clocks show. Next, the same scenario is
repeated, except it's the person at the back who initiates the reset.
If one way speed of light is the same in both directions, the offset
between the clocks must the same. The effect of moving the clocks to
the center of the ship is the same in both cases, only difference can
come from one way speed of light. Paradox is, according to a stationary
observer, the light signal in two directions is not the same relative
to the spaceship, therefore the offsets in two cases cannot be the
same, but the people on spaceship cannot explain this difference. How
is this resolved? Thanks in advance.
