Bill Murray gets the point...

Sorry oko94 but I did ask in the original question why it is unique. And the single person piano loader is the main reason

Giles and oko:

I am somewhat conflicted by being awarded a point when oko most likely had the same information but just did not post it.

In my own defense, I can say I solved the puzzle in June, within days of the original posting, and had to wait until it moved up to the proper section. You can see this on my photo captions.  I certainly have no objection to sharing the answer with oko but that is up to you, Giles.

Bill
Cheers
Bill

I knew that the van was made to carry a piano, but I didn't know that a rocker was used to load it into the van. I won't complain if I don't get a point, I'm currently taking care of my newborn daughter so I have other things to deal with  ;D
