I guess I'll bandwagon. I'm putting names on these, but I think a lot of them will be held by someone who isn't even cubing right now.

- Nicolas Sanchez and Chris Tran will work together to create a 2x2 algset known as EGLS (pronounced "eggles") which has you make a face minus one piece and solve the rest in one alg, allowing Nicolas to get a 1.04 official avg
- Feliks still won't react to any of his WRs
- LoLivia will lose her voice before the competition at which she sets Pyra WR, sparing us all
- I will get a 4.20 squan WR single, consisting of a 6 move cubeshape into adj/adj EP, which will be the reason that the squan mininum move count becomes more strict. I will smonk the biggest of weeds after the slove.
- Daniel Wannamaker will get Pyra WR single, then act like it was a terrible solve.
- Shivam's time will run out on his last cube, 2 moves away from being solved.
~Squan minimum move count is tightened to 9 slice moves
~Kilominx won't be an event
~Worlds will have 2.5k competitors
~Clock misalignment penalties will be added
~QiYi will release a Clock (it actually already has a prototype) and will have a similar situation to Squan.
~Squan will become the official name for Square-1
~Kilominx won't be an event
~ColorfulPockets' biggest videos (Things non-cubers say, Worst Judge Ever) and MMAP will fade into obscurity
~RedKB will get an official sub7 3x3 single

ohey that's my video
that doesn't include picking up the cube and stopping the timer though

I only have 3 4s and only 1 of them is sub WR (i do have a 4.90 too tho).

2x2 - lol/1.34 (the guy that has WR single, idk how you write his name)
3x3 - 3.87 (Feliks Zemdegs) / 5.46 (Feliks Zemdegs)

Pyraminx - 0.89 (Drew Brads) / 1.91 (Drew Brads)
Square 1 - 4.67 (Brandon Lin) / 8.12 (Brandon Lin)
3x3 multi BLD - 55/55 (Shivam Bansal)
For some general things that aren't records:
-A triple digit number of people will know full ZBLL
-CFOP with a hint of ZB will be the most popular method (aka CFOP will still be on top but more people will learn ZBLL and use a lot of ZBLS)
-Jabari will learn full 1LLL and know over 5k algs
-3x3 hardware won't improve much
-Big cubes hardware will improve a lot

its to hard to predict because we wont recognize cubing we wont use the same finger tricks all methods wont use blockbuilding cfop will be like corners first we will have sub 40 solves consistently 1 alg 2x2 will be a thing squan and skewb will fade but the main thing which im excited about is.... CUBING WILL BE LIKE ESPORTS!!!! if you havnt realsied cubing is blowing up so.....

excuse me squan is the best event

What do you mean by one alg 2x2? People already know EG and it would be impossible to learn an alg for all 3 million combinations

Veteran
Maybe he means that someone will invent a beginners method in which you only use 1 algorithm to solve 2x2, similar to one alg skewb, making it much easier to teach to non-cubers

i ment we will use one alg plus maybe a setup move for the whole solve

That is basically what EG is

I included the /s because this obviously already exists, but thanks for the alg anyway

What's the chance that Megaminx catches up with 4x4? There are more faces, but there are 50 pieces to place for megaminx and 56 for 4x4. If you figure that centers have one possible orientation, edges have two, and corners have 3 you end up with the following piece-orientations:
2x2: 24
3x3: 60
4x4: 108
5x5: 156
6x6: 228
7x7: 300
Megaminx: 120
I used 4.9 seconds as the basis, and squared the ratio of the number of orientations, and came up with this quite reasonable-looking estimate (2x2 single is already beaten, so I'll say this is the limit for averages):
2x2: 0.78
3x3: 4.90 (will probably be beaten, but it's my basis)
4x4: 15.87
5x5: 33.12
6x6: 1:10.75
7x7: 2:02.50
Megaminx: 19.6
2x2: 24
3x3: 60
4x4: 108
5x5: 156
6x6: 228
7x7: 300
Megaminx: 120
