When I was growing up in Thetford, we’d also use sussed to mean “put in one’s place.” For example, if someone told you to turn right to get to the pub and you said it’s left, if you were correct, you’d point at your mate and say “that’s you sussed then, innit?” Admittedly this could be regarded as an offshoot of “figuring [someone] out.”
