2011 Destroyer OC #108 Help

Can someone help with this problem please? It's one of those bridgehead carbon rings or something...I honestly have no idea how those rings form or split or anything..not too sure how they form in the Diels-Alder either...Im completely OK with the ozonolysis itself, but just not in this case because of the figure its splitting

All you have to do is ozonolysis and nothing else. You're just breaking one bond giving you the two CHO groups. If you look at the answer closely, it shows two CHO groups coming off with a continuous chain of 6 carbons (which is a ring).

but what about that bridgehead carbon figure? if it was a normal cyclohexane ring, it'd be a different product...i just dont completely know how to do anything with that starting reactant
