World Record predictions in the year 2020?

[Tim Major]

how about 2010 instead?

my predictions for 2010^^


Pyraminx - stays the same

I totally disagree ^.^

I know... 1-look pyra ftw!!!. Seriously. Only 9 million or so algs, and they wouldn't be too long.

Am I the only one that was SHOCKED when they realized 2020 is about 10 years away?

I know, the 90s me keeps expecting a flying car to go past my window...

Am I the only one who is shocked that nobody has posted a prediction based on statistical analysis of the results currently available?

I'm sure brunson's busy. Or Stephan. or someone.

Too bad were not gonna reach it because the world will end in 2012.

I volunteer to have a competition on this date. December 21, 2012, and have a mad cubing-race the entire day.

Because that would be a horrible way to go about doing this. Eventually the limits will be close to being reached and people will stop breaking the records as fast and by as much as they are now and in the past. Cubing is still extremely young and 10 years is a lot.

Because knowing several million algorithms is obviously the reason that the 2x2 record is so low. :rolleyes:

In 2012 there will be the record of most cubes solved in one day. Because in 21/12/2012 every person who have solved 2012 cubes the day before, will save himself. So keep practicing... you will need your skills for that day (?).

Point taken, but 3 move solves may be a thing of the past if qqref's 2x2 scrambling system is liked by the WCA (which it probably will be, or a variant) and by then we may also have a Pyra scrambler like this.

Says who? qq just made it and the WCA hasn't even hinted that they are considering it, don't jump to conclusions. And for the record, the world record was not 3 moves.

At time of writing my comment, I thought it was. My mistake.

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.

But then again, some people thought this back in 2003, as evidenced in the yahoo speedsolving group, but enthusiasm quickly died down.

So, there's a good chance I'm completely wrong.

If you start getting sub 9 averages, I'm sure many more people will start to take ZB seriously.

Get the WR average once you know ZB.

Seriously, if you were the first to know full ZB, and got the WR average, I'm sure you would get some followers.

I will quit cubing if ZB ever becomes mainstream. I do not like the idea of people learning this many algs. It would take the fun out of cubing for me, knowing that the only way to get as fast as everyone else would be to learn ZB. I have an idea though that if someone learns ZBLL to be used with petrus, that would be fast. Sn3akyPandaMan (probably wrote that wrong) I'm counting on you.

ZB is a nice concept, but for me it is nothing more than an idea. I do not think ZB would make people have sub 9 averages, and Fridrich will probably remain faster, due to less algs, so you get used to the algs. Imagine a ZBLL time attack...

YOUR NAME IS ZB FTW

IRONY. WAT.

EDIT: It was I who said Petrus+ZBLL. http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showpost.php?p=245213&postcount=13
