Abstract: | The average distance theorem of Gross implies that for each realN-dimensional Banach space (N≥2) there is a unique positive real numberr(E) with the following property: For each positive integern and for all (not necessarily distinct)x
1,x
2, …,x
n inE with ‖x
1‖=‖x
2‖=…=‖x
n‖=1, there exists anx inE with ‖x‖=1 such that
The main result of this paper shows, thatr(E)≤2−1/N for each realN-dimensional Banach spaceE (N≥2) with the so-called quasihypermetric property (which is equivalent toE isL
1-embeddable). Moreover, equality holds if and only ifE is isometrically isomorphic to ℝ
