Comedian Stephen Colbert will be dropping by the University of Pittsburgh January 18, the reward for four engineering grad students who cracked the ridiculously difficult “Colbert Super PAC Super Fun Pack” puzzle last year. “We were used to the frustration of solving puzzles,” said Daniel Stough, a Penn Hills native who recently acquired his masters degree.
The others solving the treasure hunt puzzle, which led them to a field in Illinois, were Justine Buchman of Saylorburg, Pa.; Daniela Aizpitarte of Eagle, Idaho; and Benjamin Zaczek of Higganum, Conn.
