Question

Suppose an intelligent society capable of receiving and transmitting radio signals lives on a planet orbiting Procyon, a star 95 light-years away from Earth. If a signal were sent toward Procyon in 1999 what is the earliest year that Earth could expect to receive a return message? (Hint: A light-year is the distance a ray of light travels in one year.)
