A quiz-like exercise to aromatic compounds (Hückel's rule, planarity, conjugation):
Here's the corresponding TikZ code (using chemfig):

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,landscape]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shadows}

\usepackage{chemfig}
