Man, with some people's predictions being so low I'm wondering what you guys think the UWR's will be in 2020. Will they be close to the actual WR's?

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Serious?

you can never underestimate the power of Maskow

 

[IamWEB]

Won't cubing be dead by 2020?

lol nope

 

[pdilla]

Let's take a trip in the waywayback machine, and see some of the things people have said over the past six years...

7x7 - 2:49.17

I want to express my firm opinion that the ZB method will transform cubing.
In 2020 many people will have switched to ZB, and start to have consistent sub 9 averages.

3x3: 5.55

O.o kinda scary...

It's a VERY long time.. so sub-7 average for 3x3 is the least I can guess.

Shoot to 2013:

OMG, looking at some of these predictions is amazing.

You said it, brother.

Ha the OH WR is already lower than my prediction and it's not even the end of the year. Maybe it won't be broken again until after 2020 though.

I only see a couple of these happening ever, let alone in 5 years. Some of the averages just aren't going to ever happen. Rami's predictions are pretty good estimates I think

 

[Mr Cubism]

7x7 2:24.21/ 2:35.45

Ooooh noooo…..!

The single is close enough, so far!

 

[Sajwo]

The single is close enough, so far!

By 2020 it will be 4.5 at least

 

[MoyuFTW]

Wow, it's interesting to see what people first though. We've already passed some of their goals

 

[Sajwo]

3x3: 5.55

And, the new WR holder who get's this record will
use ZZ. I CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE!!! OOO!!!
