I think it′s not possible, because it′s similar  to Bertrand′s Paradox (search the www)

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{think}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{possible},\:\mathrm{because}\:\mathrm{it}'\mathrm{s}\:\mathrm{similar} \\ $$$$\mathrm{to}\:{Bertrand}'{s}\:{Paradox}\:\left(\mathrm{search}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{www}\right) \\ $$

howsoever ingenious or tedious, but there exists an answer; why the paradox(?)?

$${howsoever}\:{ingenious}\:{or}\:{tedious},\:{but}\:{there}\:{exists}\:{an}\:{answer};\:{why}\:{the}\:{paradox}\left(?\right)? \\ $$

is it not the same as the question to  find the average distance between  two randomly selected points on a  part of the surface of a sphere with  unit radius?

cos β=((2−(√((b−acos ψ)^2 +a^2 sin^2 φ)))/2)

$$\mathrm{cos}\:\beta=\frac{\mathrm{2}−\sqrt{\left({b}−{a}\mathrm{cos}\:\psi\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{sin}\:^{\mathrm{2}} \phi}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
