The 2023 Rubik's Cube Canadian Championship is well underway. Defending Champion Bill Wang elected not to participate this year, meaning that we will crown a new national champion in a few hours. The results of the semifinal round of the Canadian Championship have just been released. With just four hours before the final round, I have compiled my predictions to who will succeed Mr. Wang for the coveted title.
77-digit prime number without the digit "7" (I have a 777-digit one too)
7013-digit prime number (2021)
Proth Prime (of the form k×2ⁿ+1)
Rubik's Cube Prime (2020)
4096 digits, arranged in a 64×64 square.
Only five different digits: 1, 4, 5, 7, 8

Here are a collection of interesting, large, or artistic primes that I've found.
