After scanning the 27 visible tiles, every pair from the 0–6 set appears except the double six; the (6,6) tile is missing.

After examining all 27 dominoes and counting the occurrences of each number from 0 to 6 across all halves, numbers 0,1,2,4,6 appear 8 times each, while 3 and 5 appear 7 times each, indicating the missing non-double domino [3,5] (with the smaller number first).

A standard double-six set has 28 unique tiles, including seven doubles ([0,0] through [6,6]). Six doubles are clearly visible in the image: [0, 0], [1, 1], [2, 2], [4, 4], [5, 5], and [6, 6]. The [3, 3] domino is the only double missing. Although visual analysis reveals several duplicates among the 27 physical tiles shown ([0, 2], [1, 2], and [1, 6]), which mathematically implies multiple unique tiles are missing (seven in total: [0, 5], [2, 4], [2, 5], [2, 6], [3, 3], [4, 5], [5, 6]), [3, 3] is the only missing piece by completion of the double-series, making it the most logical single excluded domino.

The standard double-six set includes all combinations from 0-6. After checking all dominoes present in the image, the only missing combination is 6 and 0, which appears only once in the set.

By analyzing the 27 dominoes present in the image and comparing against the complete set of 28 double-six dominoes, I identified all dominoes except for the [3,6] combination. Counting the occurrences of each number (0-6) across the visible dominoes, the number 3 appears 7 times and the number 6 appears 7 times, whereas all other numbers appear 8 times. This indicates that the missing domino contains both 3 and 6.

By systematically identifying all visible dominoes in the image and comparing them against the complete standard double-six set (28 tiles containing all pairs from 0-0 to 6-6), the domino [4, 4] is the only one missing from the collection shown.


Methodology Note

Each model receives the same domino puzzle grid. Models are tasked with identifying the missing domino using only visual clues from the grid. Their answers are evaluated without feedback or retries.
