This is a very unenlightening exposition that could discourage people from studying this beautiful problem.

A much better way to analyze it geometrically. The 6D problem has 2D trivial symmetries, and is parameterized by 4 polar coordinates: circumcenter distance from origin, circumradius, and 2 internal angles of the triangle. Then the solution is just [expected value of the area of a triangle on unit circle] times the radius integral in the OP article, divided by the π³ volume of the triangle space in rectangular coordinates.
