   Besides that the problem was and remains at best poorly   
   phrased (and I agree that guesswork around here should   
   rather be banned), there is a much simpler and canonical   
   way to define "midpoint" in a modular space, namely the   
   midpoint along the shortest of the two possible paths.   
   And that's actually a quite common kind of calculation...
