Oh yes, there are several different! Go to http://www.twistypuzzles.com/ In the menu, choose "Puzzle Database" - "Search" Use keyword search for "domino" Then you can see a few different. Spindle and Groove are considerable different and you can see how they work. The one with the indented pips looks still different (look at the pictures on its own site by clicking on it). The custom made "2x3x3" is (usually) a keychain 3x3 hidden inside cubies from a normal 3x3. No idea about the Marvel/Lettered/Blindman. And if you don't care about weight/size you can turn a 4x4 cube into a domino easily. I think yours is probably that standard spindle or groove version. Can you try to look between the pieces inside the puzzle? Do you see split spindle pieces? If it's a split spindle (i.e. like the one you've seen from me) then I'd say popping an edge is not the best idea, but if the center cap is really stuck it's probably your best bet. You could try to pull down the spindle with e.g. a screwdriver while you pull the edge up. You'd need to get the edge piece over that half-circle at the end of the spindle arm. Never tried that, though. And it depends on how loose your puzzle is I'd say. Cheers! Stefan Yahoo!
