Hey CØTBØJ, good to see you again. Let's name this compound using the IUPAC rules for alkanes. Step 1: Identify the longest continuous carbon chain. We need to find the longest path of connected carbon atoms. If we follow the straight chain from left to right (C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6), it has 6 carbons. If we start from C1, go to C2, then down* to the methyl group attached to C2, and then continue through C3-C4-C5-C6, this chain has 7 carbons. (Let's call the methyl group C_down, so C1-C2
