This is update #281.

Day three of SUMS: esrdthjyfl;dgfsnbbgkhjlxcfgv;bhgjxrdfthrnjhdxfscdw

• [3:01 PM] Sruixan: hello I am in a car
  (knowing that Aks and Fogel aren't big cryptic fans I took 3.4 on the journey with me; this was a mistake)
  _
  
• [5:01 PM] Sruixan: I now have a large cardboard box on my lap, and in the box is a laptop.
  [5:03 PM] Sruixan: Right now, though, it's a good-quality flat surface (even if it is a bit too dark to see my printout grid)
  _
  
• [10:07 PM] Akumu: Help?
  (at this point Aks and Fogel are stuck on the extraction step of 3.1 for reasons that shall become apparent)
  _
  
• [11:44 PM] DragonFogel: Dang it Sean Gardiner, why do you have to overcomplicate your extraction steps.
  [11:44 PM] DragonFogel: Oh wait this isn't him, I must have been thinking of another puzzle.
  [11:46 PM] DragonFogel: Well I still stand by that statement as a general principle.
  _
  
• [12:02 AM] Sruixan: there are a lot of clues
  (I solved 90% of the buggers you know)
  _
  
• AND THEN THE PENNY DROPS
  [3:14 AM] Sruixan: are you telling me
  [3:14 AM] Sruixan: that all this time
  [3:14 AM] Sruixan: you couldn't get the answer because you made a spelling mistake
  [3:15 AM] DragonFogel: Day three: in which we get stuck on two separate puzzles due to spelling.
  (my spelling mistake is too spoilery to explain but my reaction to it being pointed out when I asked for help was "well shit" so that gives you a good idea of what went down)
