This is update #282.
Days four and five of SUMS: we are all tired and frustrated and nobody has enough time to do anything
also we hate extraction steps with a passion (here's looking at you, Encoded you should not have taken FIVE DAYS)

Days four and five of SUMS: we are all tired and frustrated and nobody has enough time to do anything

- [2:09 PM] Sruixan: oh come on what the hell
[2:11 PM] Sruixan: am I getting this conceptually wrong
[2:11 PM] Sruixan: is effort involved
(the third hint for Encoded finally confirmed that everything I thought I knew about it was wrong)
_
- [4:18 PM] Sruixan: just
[4:18 PM] Sruixan: can someone solve this for me please
(spoiler warning: my idea for Encoded's arrow-based extraction was much better than the actual method)
_
- (Fogel and granola finally suss out Tag)
[10:42 PM] Akumu: Let's remember in the future to think of [REDACTED] any time we see the number [REDACTED]
[10:43 PM] Akumu: Or, for the thread, "Let's remember in the future to think of [spoiler] any time we see the number [spoiler]"
[10:43 PM] Sruixan: a [spoiler] and the number [spoiler]
[10:43 PM] Akumu: haha
[10:43 PM] Sruixan: coming soon to a Drawful near you
_
- (late night knot theory session)
[12:34 AM] Sruixan: the sixth knot is going to kill me
[12:35 AM] DragonFogel: Just chop it to pieces, Alexander.
[12:40 AM] Sruixan: but granola isn't here
(*cricket chirps* okay I admit this is not the best joke I've ever made)
_
- (Fogel and I admit defeat on the extraction step of (K)not Chemistry so I decide to sleep)
[2:10 AM] Sruixan: anyway, goodnight
[2:25 AM] Sruixan: Hi I am in bed
[2:25 AM] Sruixan: [CORRECT EXTRACTION METHOD REDACTED]
_
- (and then, once we get the last two knots, we're stuck on what results...)
[3:10 AM] DragonFogel: ...and that's the answer.
[3:11 AM] DragonFogel: It's not a clue, the answer is straight-up [REDACTED].
[3:11 AM] Sruixan: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
[3:12 AM] Sruixan: that better have been pretty fucking constrained by the metapuzzle
_
- not much happens early on day five; Fogel suffers through bits of Transmutation and then I finally get back in for the evening and we breeze through Pointless Puzzle (once Aks helps us with our puns)
_
- [1:58 AM] Sruixan: which reminds me my mum thinks Knit-Picking is bullshit
(she never said the word itself but she strongly implied it)
_
- and then I finally spot what aks did wrong during the extraction of Encoded
[2:19 AM] Sruixan: answer should be [REDACTED]
[2:20 AM] Akumu: Yep
[2:20 AM] Sruixan: FUCK
[2:20 AM] Akumu: Good eye
[2:20 AM] Sruixan: I am feeling an emotion
