[edit] Number of rings

From the picture, it appears to have 7 rings, but one editor changed this to 6. How is this? I suppose you could say that some of the rings only have one double bond, not three, but eliminating these rings would give a total count of 4. Is the ring in the center excluded for some reason?--24.16.148.75 04:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

It says: "six ortho-fused benzene rings" and that is correct. It is more an instruction ("take six rings, fuse them, get coronene"). Obviously the resulting compound has seven rings. Cacycle 12:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
