Rendezvous on a line ★★★

Author(s): Alpern

Problem   Two players start at a distance of 2 on an (undirected) line (so, neither player knows the direction of the other) and both move at a maximum speed of 1. What is the infimum expected meeting time $ R $ (first time when the players occupy the same point) which can be achieved assuming the two players must adopt the same strategy?
