Help finding Effective Capacitance in a Circuit


1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

The Question is to find Effective capacitance in the circuit shown below (Sorry if the pic is not clear enough)



2. Relevant equations

This is in the Chapter Capacitors so the basic formula that would be used I guess is Q = CV

3. The attempt at a solution

First I Identified the Points with uniform Potentials and Named them ABCD
A and B being the extremes
then I connected a battery mentally between points A and B
then I induced the charges
{its hard to show without the picture but I hope it makes sense }

then I used the Formula Q = CV

I have solved simpler circuits using simple formulas like this one I mean just this but I was wondering if there was any kind of tricks to easily solve these , I have heard of Star Delta Conversion will that be applicable in this or Loop method IDK . Or should I move ahead to the next Chapters Resistors and Current and then try to solve these
Please help
Thanks
