That awkward moment when your organic chemistry professor asks you to synthesize a person. The structure shows what appears to be a stick figure drawn as a chemical compound. Good luck explaining your retrosynthetic analysis of that one in group meeting. I'd start with some carbon-carbon coupling reactions and pray my yield is above 2%. Might need to optimize reaction conditions for about... 9 months.
