Условие

There is a saying in Russian, [15] “one cannot jump over his own head.” But many high jumpers do this easily. Estimate the maximum height a man will be able to get over in high jumps and in pole vaulting, in the year 2000? [16]

Note [14]

“High jumps”, according to the original Russian text

Note [15]

Just “a proverb”, according to the Russian and Belarusian versions, without mentioning the language

Note [16]

“In your opinion, what will be the World records”, in the 1992 Russian text. The [Kopelevich 1992] and [RMF 1992] English versions read, “Estimate the maximum height a man [men] will be able to get over in the year 2000 both with a pole and without one”, while the Russian text is not mentioning “men” or “women” and indirectly implies that both categories of the World records are to be predicted. Literally, “jumps without a pole and with one” in all translations
