I need to find the products for 2,2-Dimethyl-1-propanol. I know that a rearrangement occurs to give the more stable carbocation. However, from then on, how do I know which hydrogen I should pluck off to get the products? I can see 3 sources, the two methyl group and the CH2. Any help please? Also, it's not just for this question, I've been doing others and face this delimma also. Is there a rule to determine which C I should form the double bond with, if there are multiple carbons which I can take the hydrogen off of?

You want to form the more substituted double bond, since terminal alkenes aren't as stable as internal alkenes, you are more likely to form an internal alkene.
