Don't know for sure.  Maybe one that is on top of the old hive?  On a double screen board?

That would be my guess.

A piggyback split is when you take the top super of a two or three super colony and put a queen excluder/screen between the top one and the one below it.  Then you requeen the top super, making a two queen colony.
People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.
