Let \(X\) be a Banach space with the norm \(\|\cdot\|\). The author proves that \(X\) is a Hilbert space if and only if \[ 2\leq {\|u_2- x\|\over\|u_2- u_1\|} \|u_1+ y\|+ {\|u_1-x\|\over\|u_2- u_1\|} \|u_2+ y\|+ {\|v_2- x\|\over\|v_2- v_1\|} \|v_1- y\|+ {\|v_1- x\|\over\|v_2- v_1\|} \|v_2- y\|, \] for any \(x\), \(y\) with \(\|x\|< 1\), \(\|y\|< 1\), and any \(u_1\), \(u_2\), \(v_1\), \(v_2\) in the unit sphere of \(X\) so that \(\{x\}= [u_1, u_2]\cap [v_1, v_2]\), where \([u,v]\) denotes the line segment joining \(u\) and \(v\).
