Sorry guys, I know that some of you probably already cleared the puzzle (but you probably have trouble reaching this thread >_>)...

Posting this thread on the same time as the Microsoft Conference probably wasn't the best idea >.> but I feel for the GS admins... everybody trusted them...

Press the "free user" button and download the file that's given. It's part of the puzzle.

Download the file that's there. Don't worry it's safe. If you don't believe me, you can virus scan it as many times as you want.
