Erdös Number

[nibot]

It's just come to my attention^* that I have an Erdös Number of 5 via the LIGO Collaboration (which includes Kip Thorne, who has Erdos Number 4). It does kind of seem like cheating to utilize a paper with 419 authors to make the connection, however.

Reading your post made me look up if I have a chance. And turns out I have. (Erdos - Schulman, Leonard, J. Y - Andris Ambainis - me). That makes my Erdos number 3. Jeeez. Of course, my involvement in the paper was quite insignificant, so was the paper, but still - kinda cool. :)
