I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. I can see that the distances from the top left hand square to other squares are the same on the 'different sides' of the diagonal line (The squares running from top left to bottom right). For example the square 2 down and 1 across (from the top left sqaure)...

Thank you for the help.

Thank you very much. Could you suggest a possible strategy?

Oh, I see. You mentioned computing the mean distance between squares on a chessboard. How could this be done? Is there is simplified formula? Or is brute force calculation the only option i.e. counting the distances then manually averaging them?

I don't think this problem is that complex. Tarzan has a mass of 80kg, therefore his weight is around 800N, a little less in reality. The rope will only hold 100N. Without even swinging, the rope will break.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, that's why I always assume that the points are distributed as far apart as possible in the given space. That will effectively spread them evenly. I was only using the towns on a map analogy to make it clearer to understand, I'm thinking about just abstract points that...

I think that this is a trick question. Tarzan's weight is approximately 800 N (784 N to be more precise). The vine would not support his weight in the first place.

Hello, I want to find out the 'average distance' between many points on a 2D plain. That is, if you were standing on a point, what would be the average distance to all other points? For example, if there are three points A, B and C. AB = 5, AC = 10 and BC = 15, adding these up and dividing by...
