A projectile is thrown from a point \( O \) on the ground at an angle \( 45^\circ \) from the vertical and with a speed \( 5\sqrt{2} \, \text{m/s} \). The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down to the ground, \( 0.5 \, \text{s} \) after the splitting. The other part, \( t \) seconds after the splitting, falls to the ground at a distance \( x \) meters from the point \( O \). The acceleration due to gravity \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
The value of \( t \) is _____
