It says right below the code image: "Enter the first five (5) characters of the code. Even though it has six characters, we only want the first five. This code is needed to prevent automated (robot) registrations." It seems your friend is trying to put in all six characters, instead of only five.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Wow, yea, I highly doubt many people wouldn't make the same mistake on their first try. The picture already tells you what to do in a way, "First green code = ?", there's no reason to assume the text below the picture could contradict it. Not sure if this is the best design.

This made my evening!
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Sorry that it is difficult, but it is no less difficult than other sites that use captcha. I myself also have troubles proving I'm a human (am I robot?) However, you must know that we've had our captcha cracked on more than one occasion by bots. As captcha's get cracked, they get tougher. The internet is a sick place, and that is the source of your pain.
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects
