If you can answer my first question (with calculus if you know any), try this one (again with calculus if you know any):
What is the average x coordinate of all ordered pairs (x,y) within the range 0<x<1 and 0<y<1?
In this scenario, multiple (in fact, uncountably infinite) ordered pairs can contain the same x coordinate, but the statement of the problem is sound.

Where in the question does it state that each line segment may only appear once? If that is true, then I 100% agree with you.
