Anybody here have an Erdos number?

I was able to find that rgep (he was not here for a while) has an Erdos number of 3. Based on its original use such a number is very good.*)





*) He got his Erdos number from working with a mathemation that you might have heard of Swinnerton-Dyer in work on elliptic curves I think (that something to be proud of).

My Erdos number is 0

I am not sure if you are saying a joke. Erdos number 0 is the best Erdos number, in fact, I believe, Erdos himself is the only one who has that number. But you might be implying that you have no Erdos number and thus assumed that 0 is the way to write it.

Thanks for correcting me. I just read the rules: The Extended Erdös Number Project
and Erdos Number Project

I guess I dont have an erdos number (that would be more correct).

You Erdos number is infinite! As is mine.
But if I work with rgep my Erdos number is 4.
And if you work with me your Erdos number is 5.
But if you work with rgep after your Erdos number is 4.
And if I work with you now your Erdos number will remain the same.
Hence this is a grow model which has exponential size.

I guess whoever designed the Erdos number was very humble.

Did rgep post his Erdos number here, or do you know it the same way that I know it?

I don't know what my Erdos number is, but I know what my Star Wars and porn star names are... And my sleep bed number is the same as Lindsay Wagners: 35.

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert

Aha, this is like Kevin Bacon index, ins't it? I know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody who knows Erdos (knew, if he is dead). Hence I got 4 in Erdos index.

I think you have to work with somebody who has worked with somebody who has worked with somebody that has worked with Erdos

But that would make my Erdos index 0. You've heard Erdos has moved to Sweden, right?
