Okay here is a example
Square A ( or Block A )
1  2
3  4
Square B ( or Block B )
2 3
4 6

d( A, B ) = 7 = ( 1-2)^2 + (2-3)^2 + (3-4)^2 + (4-6)^2

now replace each entry with the means.
New A
2.5 2.5
2.5 2.5

New B
3.75  3.75
3.75  3.75

distance is 4*(3.75-2.5)^2 = 6.25

Calling these things squares is not the best way of wording things !
