COMMENTS

On a 2n X (n^2 - n + 1) X n^2 cuboid (with n >= 3) there are six pairs of points with the maximum surface distance between them: the four pairs of opposite corners and the opposite pairs of points on the smallest faces 1 in from the mid-points of the shortest edges; this maximum surface distance is sqrt(a(n)).
