2x2: <0.4/<1.25

Current WR average is 1.21

 

[CraZZ CFOP]

Current WR average is 1.21

Fixed!

 

[cubezrawesome]

I am giving a prediction on only 3x3
Single: 3.306
Avg: 3.724

But why this specific. Well, that is because with some unreliable calculations, taking the average time drop of the single and average wr since 2012, we get-
Single -.214
avg -.346

I took this information into excel and subtracted that from the current wr. Then I took that time and subtracted again. Assuming a wr is broken at least yearly. By 2025 we will have 3.306single and 3.724avg.

So according to this unreliable data that probably is wrong, here is the timeline
(year - single wr - average wr)
19 4.59 5.8
20 4.376 5.454
21 4.162 5.108
22 3.948 4.762
23 3.734 4.416
24 3.52 4.07
25 3.306 3.724
26 3.092 3.378
27 2.878 3.032
28 2.664 2.686
29 2.45 2.34
30 2.236 1.994
31 2.022 1.648
32 1.808 1.302
33 1.594 0.956
34 1.38 0.61
35 1.166 0.264
36 0.952 -0.082
37 0.738 -0.428
38 0.524 -0.774
39 0.31 -1.12
40 0.096 -1.466
41 -0.118 -1.812
42 -0.332 -2.158
43 -0.546 -2.504
44 -0.76 -2.85
45 -0.974 -3.196
46 -1.188 -3.542
47 -1.402 -3.888
48 -1.616 -4.234
49 -1.83 -4.58
50 -2.044 -4.926

cool!!

What do you think that the WCA world records will be in the year 2025? This is basically the same thing as the 2020 thread, just 5 years ahead.

2x2 - 0.43 1.08
3x3 - 3.24 5.37
4x4 - 16.53 20.52
5x5 - 33.63 39.42
6x6 - 1:04.79 1:09.54
7x7 - 1:39.79 1:45.23
OH - 5.31 7.79
BLD - 12.33 16.22
FMC - 2 17s, 21.67 mean
Mega - 26.01 29.9x
Skewb - 0.79 1.67
Pyra - 0.78 1.43
Squan - 3.99 5.66
Clock - 2.53 3.99
4BLD - 1:02
5BLD - 2:22
MBLD - 61/61
May be a bit high but let me know what you think

4BLD is definitely going to be sub 1 by 2021.

 

[NewoMinx]

4BLD is definitely going to be sub 1 by 2021.

Possibly, memo could get even better but the current WR had so few pauses and very fast turning

Mbld: 67/67 in 1:01

you know that mbld time limit is 1:00:00, rite?

 

[Mike Hughey]

you know that mbld time limit is 1:00:00, rite?

Technically, I guess it would be possible to get exactly 67/67 in 1:01, if you had 30 of the 67 cubes with +2's on each one. But I'd say that's rather highly unlikely!

 

[CarterK]

4BLD - 1:02
5BLD - 2:22
MBLD - 61/61

These are really funny to me

Someone pointed out that technically you would be saving time in your attempts by purposely not doing the last move of each solve, and on 60 plus cubes might actually make a bit of a difference. It would probably cause more problems than it’s worth though

 

[NewoMinx]

These are really funny to me

In the impossible way or the way too slow way

 

[CarterK]

In the impossible way or the way too slow way

Way too slow way

 

[Vecolity]

3x3 - 3.9______cube: ¯\(ツ)/¯
4x4 - 16.9_____cube: 60mm Yuxin Blue Version 2
5x5 - 35.9_____cube: 62mm Gans 562 helium

foshhua lmfao

 

[BradyCubes08]

best sum of ranks will be ~250 for average and ~300 for single by stanley chapel
worlds 2025 will have over 2000 competitors and the top 5 will all have sub 6 averages.

 

[Caleb/spooderskewb]

Sub 3.5 for 3x3
Sub 15 4x4
Sub 25 5x5
Sub 1 6x6
Sub 1:30 7x7
These may be a stretch but here

3x3 is already sub 3.5

 

[Competition Cuber]

3x3 is already sub 3.5

TBH I think that 3x3 could theoretically by under 2.5. LL skip and easy cross/F2L

 

[schapel]

so few pauses

give this man a comedy award
