[1] What is the mean distance between two random points on the perimeter of a unit square?
[2] What is the mean distance between two random points on the interior of a unit square?
(In reply to

I actually got those counts but I added them using an unfamiliar calculator so I don't doubt I mis-entered somewhere.
Thanks for validating my idea.
Incidentally, you can find many web pages that include the correct solution - using integration - and also a few that use my incorrect assumption.
