A challenge from @FroodyFrog.
21We got a package from @FroodyFrog addressed to the Plush Penguin. @Hollboll will likely post about the contents next week, but included was a note:
Big talk from @FroodyFrog, saying it will be in vain. We'll see!
The goo.gl link was made six days ago, and leads to this google doc:
The braille was translated from this braille translator which accounts for the weird characters at the beginning and end of the url. When translated, it comes out to https://goo.gl/ghcqmb. The highlighted text is Finnish, and translates to "Three and up." Obviously a hint to which characters need to be capitalized (third and beyond).
goo.gl/ghCQMB takes us to another google doc:
Here the text is in Czech and says "Are you still here? Frankly, I'm surprised. Well, regardless. I deliberately delaying the hunt until the timer is done."
One goo.gl link takes us to a countdown timer
And the other leads to yet another google doc:
The logo is for a Slovakian sock company.
So here we are, @FroodyFrog. Solved your puzzle before you even finished it. Your move, buddy! We're waiting.

Just the logo? No free socks? No Trotle? No Kolachy? No kitten or puppy cuteness overload?
That's just disappointing.
@Moose
Who says I didn't finish it?
It's called having patience ;)
@FroodyFrog yeah yeah yeah. How long does that take???
@sohmageek
Having patience?
@FroodyFrog yes. How long does that take?!
@sohmageek
@sohmageek
As far as from
36.0553° N, 112.1218° W
to
48.8582° N, 2.2945° E
@FroodyFrog Patience?
@Moose
Out of curiosity, did anyone find anything useful in the box?
Tick... Tock... Tick... Tock...
@FroodyFrog that's not terrifying at all.
@hollboll to be fair you do work in a place where people test knives by throwing them into the ceiling
@hollboll
True, but a video recording of me saying it slowly while leaning back in a chair while wearing a horse head mask would be ;)
@Lotsofgoats @hollboll
That sounds like so much fun!!!!
(And no, I'm not being sarcastic)
@Lotsofgoats He we haven't thrown knives in months
@MEHcus
What about throwing speaker docks?
@MEHcus MY APOLOGIES
@Lotsofgoats just don't let it happen again
@MEHcus yes sir
🔪🔪
😓

@MEHcus - the most Mediocre herder for hordes of Capra aegagrus hircus
So sad when timers finish :(
@FroodyFrog Binary, eh? I would try to solve, but I ain't logging into my Google account to access the next part. Nice Try!
@medz
Thanks for pointing that out. I SHOULD fix it (although I probably won't)...
@FroodyFrog Coincidentally it was also a countdown to when I lost interest. Hopefully others can solve it...?
@Moose
What's it say about me if i also find myself losing some interest?
Besides the fact that it's not a good sign if i can bore myself?
For those wanting the compressed folder, but not wanting to login to Gmail (Not gonna name names, but @medz), even though I don't use Dropbox anymore, I uploaded it to there:

Kinda lost on this. The goo.gl link requires permissions that I'm not going to request, and the text has questions.
No idea about capitalization or what the answers could be, and there are too many possibilities to brute force it.
1. Jaramelz?
2. Goat/Scapegoat?
3. Moose... squared?
4. Snapster
5. Barney
@Moose
I normally don't share documents on Google Drive (for various reasons), switched the goo.gl link to direct to Dropbox.
