90% of people live in the Northern Hemisphere so this won't work.

matthewsimo commented 10 years ago

Then, use whichever latitude makes this work..

Apart from the point that peterson mentioned, there is already a geographical distribution question there (#2).

This makes any other geographical distribution question non-informative because the answer to two is extremely correlated.

To be able to track the question #2 would require multiple bits to track, and reduces the ability for a 33 digit binary string to individually represent a person. This avoids that problem. Layering longitudinal & latitudinal questions based on birth is a good way to get the most bang for your buck digit-wise.
