Etymology 2

From cube + -ist.

noun

  1. A player of Rubik's cube; a cuber.
    […] as far as I know there is no standard word describing the art of playing with the cube. Cubing? Cubistics? Rubikonomia? or perhaps Rubikomania? Can the science (or art) of doing it be called “cubology”, as suggested by Scientific American? Some enthusiasts borrow “cubism” and call themselves “cubists”, all very reminiscent of the 1920s three dimensional, modern art phase.] [1982-03-18, Stephan Sulyak, “Review: The magic cube (A Büvös Kocka)”, in New Scientist, volume 93, number 1297, →ISSN, page 734
    Being a new reader of this group and a novice cubist, I'm not familiar with either of these notations. Would someone please fill me in? Thanks in advance for the help. 1992-05-05, SH...@slacvm.slac.stanford.edu, “Re: God's algorithm again for Rubiks Cube, was Re: combinatorial puzzl”, in rec.puzzles (Usenet)
