Next on the list, might be a slight delay

Example:

spiro[4.5]decane
not spiro[5.4]decane

For example if there were two methyl groups, each on a different carbon, how do you number each one?

Can you explain to me in details the mystery behind the nomenclature of bicyclic compounds in this site? I would be very glad to hear your reply as I need to send it to someone (@QuestionCookie) on https://chemistry.stackexchange.com as an answer to his/her question on “R/S configuration of bridging carbon in bicyclic system” within 10 hours in order to get a bounty worth +50 reputations from him/her
Thanks
Satyajay Mandal

See the example at the bottom!

6-endo-bromo-8-anti-isobutyl-1,3-exo-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]octane
from a configuration diagram
