All Squashed Up
Steps:1)Convert the number of square miles in Cuba to square feet.
2)Use the best-fitting equation to find the year when the population is closest to the number of square feet.
In the year 2940, there will be 160,587,642*10^15 and people will have less than one square foot of room each.

When I am 50 (in the year 2037) I estimate there will be 11,596,677 people in the Cuba.
Best Fit Line:
Logistic... c/(1+ae^(-bx))
Equation: y = 12491143.872225/(1+(1.3115257879756*10^39)e^(-.04610433397462x))
Cuba Facts...
The total land mass of Cuba is 40,519 square miles, or 213,940,320 square feet. Because the best-fitting line is a logistic equation, the population can only approach, but never get to, a certain number. This number is well below the number the population would have to be for everyone to have only one square foot each (213,940,320).
