The skeletal structure of circumcircumcircumcoronene, a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C150H30\mathrm{C}_{150} \mathrm{H}_{30}, is shown below.

Each line segment between two atoms is at least a single bond. However, since each carbon (C) requires exactly four bonds connected to it and each hydrogen (H)(\mathrm{H}) requires exactly one bond, some of the line segments are actually double bonds. How many arrangements of single/double bonds are there such that the above requirements are satisfied? If the correct answer is CC and your answer is AA, you get max⁡([30(1−∣log⁡log⁡2CAC∣)],0)\max \left(\left[30\left(1-\left|\log _{\log _{2} C} \frac{A}{C}\right|\right)\right], 0\right) points.
