(See my other question at chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/74853/…) And I would not say that the molecule is a cis-trans isomer of itself. Therefore it can't have more than 15 cis-trans isomers. | |

Also, 15 is too low a number for the number of stereo isomers. Just consider the double bonds, you have four of them, each has two choices, cis or trans. That gives $2^4$ isomers on its own. Just 16 isomers from the double bond chain, there's way more possible from the ring. Keep trying, you'll get it soon. | |
