A bargainmade or done for present gain without regard for future cost or consequences.
A pact made with the Devil—selling one’s soul in order to gain power, knowledge, wealth, beauty, youth, or some other desired goal. The theme is an old one: one may gain short-term delights, but the Devil comes to collect in the end. One must eventually ‘pay the piper’ – bear the consequences.

A Faustian Rubix is a menagerie of multiple things that if engaged within the wrong way have the effect not unlike being on the wrong end of a deal with the devil. It is also said to be a situation in which a person makes multiple incorrect assumptions or accusations of a person, which over time destroys their credibility and makes them a laughing stock. Attempting to solve a Faustian Rubix is a definition of such a situation.
Alternatively, it could also mean a creative wellspring of ideas that never seems to end, or with a perfectionist streak. Some of these ideas may have a dark undertone or sinister twist.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
