Depending what you count, my E-B number is 6. I'm actively working on reducing that, and looking to get a finite Sabbath number:

Yay, my Erdos number is 2 and thus better than that of Richard Feynman. I have a paper with Erdos-1 mathematician Saharon Shelah. Unfortunately, my Bacon number is infinity. To look up your Erdos number, if any, go to

Just found out my Erdos number is 7 thanks to this [0] (it seems to be only mathematical papers so I had to input a co-author to find mine). Now to just get a bacon and sabbath number...

Mine is 4. Now I only need to appear in a movie with Kevin Bacon
My Bacon number is 3. Let's write a paper together and I'll film it!
My Erdős Number is 4:
I've also appeared on a local Philadelphia PA TV show with newscasters who interviewed Kevin Bacon. Not sure if this gives me a finite Bacon Number, since it was TV (not a movie) and it was non-fiction. If so, then I have the finite Erdős–Bacon Number of 6.

My Erdős–Bacon number is 6. Bacon number 3: I was in a film with Terence Donovan who has a Bacon number of 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kK... Erdős number 3: I wrote a paper with Gregor Leander who has an Erdős number of 2. I peaked.
I'm fairly certain I have a finite Erdos number, but it sure is a pain to find it. Someone with more free time than I should make a list of famous contemporary computer scientists by research area and their Erdos number! It would be a lot of help.
EDIT: it seems my computational geometry professor, Bernard Chazelle, has an E-B number of 5. Too bad I do not have any papers authored with him.

It is a stretch, but it is all in good fun: my bacon number is 3 (I played Tara O'Reilly's husband (uncredited) in Shout it Out) and my Erdos number is 3 (I co-wrote a paper for the TeX User's Group journal with Michael Doob). Total Erdos-Bacon number: 6

I recently found out that my Math professor has an Erdos number of 2, there's got to a way to co-author something there in the far future!
I have a lecturer who has an E-B number of 5 (Geoffrey Grimmett). Now I just need to appear in a film with him and write a paper with him.
