Now do the Erdos number: defined the same way but for coauthors of papers linked to the absurdly production (and always high on amphetamines) great Paul Erdos. The most glorious of all, the Erdos-Bacon number, is defined as the sum of your Bacon number and Erdos number.
Mathematicians Daniel kleitman and Bruce Reznik both tie for top spot with a number of 3 (Erdos 1s and Bacon 2s). Danica McKellar and Elon both in there with 6s. And Mayim Bialik, Natalie Portman, and Kristen Stewart all up there with 7s.
My ex had an erdos-bacon number of six or seven when she was in grad school. One paper with your thesis advisor and having one role as an extra gets you there quickly.
