My Erdös Number

My Erdös number is 4:

• William D Clinger: 4
• Mitchell Wand: 3
• Albert Meyer: 2
• Daniel J Kleitman: 1
• Paul Erdös: 0

Hence my Gödel number is at most 7. Furthermore:

• My Bill Gates number is at most 8.
• My Benoit Mandelbrot number is at most 7.
• My Albert Einstein number is at most 6.
• My Richard Feynman number is at most 7.
• My Stephen Hawking number is at most 8.

Some of these bounds can be tightened...

My Mandelbrot number is actually 2, so my Feynman number is at most 4:

• John W Van Ness: 3
• B B Mandelbrot: 2
• John A Wheeler: 1
• Richard Feynman: 0

• Gerald Jay Sussman: 3
• Kip S Thorne: 2
• John M Bardeen: 1
• Stephen Hawking: 0

I have not yet discovered a short path to Bill Gates or any path at all to Kevin Bacon. I'll keep trying.
