If you are new to Foldit, here are detailed instructions to get you started:

We had to close Puzzle 733 as there was a bug causing cutpoints to misbehave, here is a feedback related to it: http://fold.it/portal/node/995370
This puzzle should behave correctly, no different than normal puzzles.
We apologize for this issue.
