The centroid-projection symmetry conjecture

Let KRnK\subset\mathbb R^n be a convex body, with n3n\geq 3, and let qintKq\in\operatorname{int}K. For each uSn1u\in\mathbb S^{n-1}, let πu\pi_u denote orthogonal projection in direction uu. Centroid-projection conjecture. If πu(q)\pi_u(q) is the centroid of πu(K)\pi_u(K) for every uSn1u\in\mathbb S^{n-1}, then qq is the centre of symmetry of KK. This conjecture is identified as the missing ingredient for extending the projection floating-body result from dimension three to arbitrary dimension; no general proof is supplied.
