Notes
For cutting the cucumbers I suggest using a mandoline slicer or food processor. This makes this step a lot faster. If you don't have either just hand slice the cucumbers really thin.
Make sure the sugar and salt is dissolved before adding it to the bowl of cucumbers. Achieve this by stirring the mixture until dissolved.
If you want the cucumbers to marinate more evenly refrigerate them in a shallow large dish, such as a casserole dish so the marinate can cover as many cucumbers as possible.
Don't forget to stir the cucumbers a couple times while marinating.
