I challenged gilty to draw the chemical structure of TNT faster than me in Neochat. I won.
ain't it cute

TNT is pretty

You drew TNMC, 1,3,5-trinitro-2-methyl cyclohexane . As a one time organic TA, please remember your aromatics.
Response to deeko below: IUPAC naming of organic molecules generally starts with a parent name, then tries to start the numbers at the "heaviest" attachment (there's a real system to it, it involves adding the atomic number of the atoms in the group, figuring out which has a higher final number), and then tries to go around putting things at the lowest number possible. That's why we start with an no2 and put the methyl at the lowest number possible.
Now, the toluene parent name actually establishes the tnt name, so, even with no2s, the methyl is #1.

You know what happens when you say something is pretty then post a picture showing that it is in reality not.
