With the start of the bidding process, I think discussion on worlds 2029 can start.

Personally, I think somewhere in Asia would be best.

I think I can easily narrow down where the 2029 world championship will be held to one of two locations

1. If we take the historical data for the previous world championships from 2003 to 2027, fit trend lines for latitude and longitude by performing some basic linear regression, we get 29.2943° N, 39.3186° E. Looks like this section of Saudi Arabi will have plenty of space for the competition. Might be kidn of hot though.

2. I think to be fair to all competitors, since the WCA is a world-wide organization, the WCA will instead consider the geographic centroid calculated over the earth. If we map all this data we get 73.2103° N, 38.5783° W.....Greenland! On a glacier in Greenland to be specific. Not sure I would be happy with this choice. My hands are always cold even in normal weather.

I hope it's in Australia because then I might be able to go. Also I think there was already a thread about this.
